Mouseia’s complete machine-assisted Musean translation, made directly from the Egyptian, line for line, covering all sixteen pages (198 lines) of the recto of Papyrus Chester Beatty I, the only complete copy, working from the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae transcription (hieroglyphs, transliteration and lemma glosses, with the TLA editors’ German sentence renderings as a comprehension aid; ORAEC release of the TLA corpus, CC BY-SA 4.0).
10.1 Re-Harakhty cried out loudly and said to the Ennead, “Let us hurry and inflict a severe punishment on him!” Then the Ennead climbed these mountains
10.2 to seek Horus, son of Isis. But Horus lay beneath a shenusha sycamore
10.3 in the Oasis Land. Seth found him, seized him, and struck him on the back upon the mountain. Then he tore
10.4 Horus’s two wedjat eyes from their places and buried them on the mountain to illuminate the earth. The two pupils of his eyes became two buds,
10.5 which grew into lotus flowers. Then Seth went away and lied to Re-Harakhty, saying,
10.6 “I have not found Horus,” though he had found him. Then Hathor, Lady of the Southern Sycamore, went forth and found
10.7 Horus lying and weeping in the hill country. She caught a gazelle, milked her, and said to Horus,
10.8 “Open your eyes. I will put this milk in them.” He opened his eyes, and she put the milk in them, placing some on the right eye and
10.9 some on the left. She said to him, “Open your eyes!” He opened them; she looked at him and found him healed. Then she
10.10 went to tell Re-Harakhty, “Horus has been found: Seth injured his eyes, but I have raised him up
10.11 again. Look, he has come!” The Ennead said, “Summon Horus and Seth so that judgment may be passed between them!” They were brought before
10.12 the Ennead. The Lord of All said before the Great Ennead to Horus and Seth, “Go; first hear what I say to you. You shall eat

10.3 Seth found him, grabbed him, and struck him on the back on the mountain. Then Seth removed Horus's two sound eyes from their places.
10.4 He buried them on the mountain to light up the earth. The two eyeballs became two buds
10.5 that grew into lotus flowers. Then Seth went away. He lied to Re-Harakhty, saying, “I haven't found Horus,” though he had found him.
10.6 Hathor, lady of the southern sycamore, went out. She found Horus lying on the mountainside, crying.
10.7 She caught a gazelle and milked it. Then she said to Horus,

10.9 some on the left eye. Then she said to him, “Open your eyes.” He opened them. She looked at him and found that he was healed. Then she
10.10 went to tell Re-Harakhty, “Horus has been found. Seth had injured his eyes, but I've got him back on his feet.
10.11 Look, here he is!” The council of gods said, “Call Horus and Seth so they can be judged.” They were brought before
10.12 the council of gods. The Lord of All said to Horus and Seth before the great council of gods, “Go, but listen first to what I say to you: you must eat
