A recital to be spoken during the loosening of a bandage:
"Loosened was the loosened one by Iris, Horus was loosened by Isis from the evils done to him by his brother Seth ... Oh Isis, great in sorcery! Mayst thou loosen me, mayst thou deliver me from everything bad and evil and vicious, from afflictions (caused) by a god or goddess, from dead man or woman, from male of female adversary who will oppose me, like thy delivery with thy son Horus. For I have entered into the fire and have come forth from the water, I will not fall into the day's snares. I have spoken and now I am young and refreshed." (Pap. Eb. I.)
A treatment for burns:
"My son Horus is burnt in the desert. Is water there? There is no water there. There is water in my mouth and a Nile between (my) thighs. I come to extinguish the fire." (Pap. Eb. LXIX.)
