CT /E67h-i: "N. ist so stark wie die Kopfabschneide?; die Flamme auf seinem, Mund ist; So scharf wie die Messer der Götter, die vor Sachmet sind. . See also the seven ureus snakes mentioned in the hymn to the first hour of the day, which also represent the power destroying the enemy and connected to the sunrise: J. Assmann, Liturgische Lieder an den Sonnengott. Untersuchungen zur altägyptischen Hym?iik I (Münchner Agyptologische Studien 19), Berlin 1969, 157 (10). The destruction of the enemy by fire in front of the gate of the eastern horizon: see above in connection with htmyt. Serpents spitting fire in the underworld: Ritner 1993, 224 and n. 1042. The Apophis serpent is destroyed by the sons of Horus (4) also in the last hour of the Book of Gates. The number 7 may also come up in connection with the sons of Horus: E. Liptay, "Réflexions sur le rôle symbolique des lézards en Egypte à propos de deux objets de bronze," Bulletin du Musée Hongrois des Beaux Arts 85 (1996), 112 (cf. CT Spell 1126); A. Dodson, "Four Sons of Horus," in The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt I, ed. D. B. Redford, Oxford 2001, 562. Hornung, Amduat II (note 5), 121. Zeidler (1999,269, n. 3) mentions several of these: Niwinski 1989, figs. 46, 70, and 72; Piankoff and Rambova 1957, No. 2 and 20. See also on a coffin: Schmidt 1919, fig. 870. One sole mummy-shaped figure is standing in the serpent's coils: A. M. Blackman, "The Funerary Papyrus of Tnkhefenkhons," Journal of Egyptian Archaeology IV (1917), pl. XXVII. To the 60th scene of the Book of Gates see Niwinski 1989, fig. 80 and Piankoff and Rambova 1957, No. 28, where the serpent is given a name from the Amduat (Hornung 1972, 272), and the figures inside the serpent are wearing a sun-disc on their heads.
