This constellation, represented by the Egyptians by a star and
sceptre, is called Sah. The man, usually standing in a boat as here,
looks backward - he holds a star or ankh, the sign of life, in his
left hand, and a sceptre, sign for 'dominion,' in the other. Amongst
other things, the constellation of Orian is associated from earliest
times with Osiris. See also text BD 69, Orion passes some of the year under the horizon, which is identified with his travelling in through the netherworld.
My name lives in the House of Orion
My heart is cunning, it is not negligent.
My heart is observant, leading the opponent's play towards me.
I guide his draughtsmen for him.
His fingers are troubled,
his heart removes itself from its place
and he does not know how to respond.
My name lives in the House of Orion;
I live forever and ever.
I proceed as one who is rightly guided,
together with the sun disk to the House of Regeneration.
(Piankoff, The Great Game text).
