During the life of Osiris, his retinue was headed by the good demon Imahuemankh - a man with the head of a falcon, armed with two huge, sharply sharpened knives. Another demon was subordinate to him - Jesertep, the protector of Osiris. Upuaut and Anubis were true friends of Imahuemankh and Jesertep. After the death of Osiris, all four entered into an irreconcilable struggle with Set.
One day Jesertep was watching the head of Set's accomplices, the demon Demib, who was scouring the swamps of the Delta in search of the mummy of Osiris: he wanted to destroy it on the orders of his master Set. But, sensing surveillance, Demib fled. Then the four, led by Imahuemankh, set off in pursuit. Demib was captured, and Imahuemankh cut off his head with his sharp knife - so that Demib washed himself with [his own] blood.
Seth decided to rescue the remains of his friend and give them an honorable burial. In order not to be recognized, he took the form of Anubis and in this form entered the swamps of the Delta. He passed the guards unhindered; he collected Demib's chopped body into a bag and wanted to hide just as unnoticed, but Anubis and Chorus saw him. They gave chase and overtook Seth. A battle ensued, and it is unknown how it would have ended if Thoth had not arrived in time to help Anubis and Horus. The god of wisdom and witchcraft cast a magic spell and threw Seth to the ground. Anubis tied Seth's hands and feet and placed him under Osiris as a seat. Then Isis dismembered Seth, sinking her teeth into his back <...>. And Ra said:
— <...> Let Set be destined for [Osiris] as a seat. Truly [let it be so] because of the evil that he caused to the body of Osiris.
Another time, the black dog Isdes recognized Seth by the evil he had committed. But he [Seth] managed to escape into the desert <...>. Anubis, Isdes and Horus rushed in pursuit and overtook Seth and his accomplice] and a battle ensued. Isdes killed [everyone], sparing no one.
When the bloody slaughter subsided, the gods sat down to rest, but then Isdes noticed the [divine] juices of the body of [Osiris] above them. The choir immediately collected these juices in vessels, and the gods buried them in a crypt on the very mountain where Seth was killed. A guard was placed at the entrance to the crypt - a fire-breathing serpent.
But while the gods were performing the funeral ritual, Seth was resurrected, turned into a panther and fled. Anubis gave chase, found Seth and, with the help of Thoth, threw him to the ground.
It was decided to put the bound Seth to a painful execution. The gods lit a fire and burned [Seth] in the fire from head to toe with his entire body. The smell of fat reached the heavens <...> and it was pleasant to Ra and the gods.
After the execution, Anubis cut Set's skin, tore it off and put it on himself. Then he went to the sanctuary of Osiris and burned his mark on Seth’s skin with a hot iron.
Having learned that their leader was killed, the demons of darkness and darkness gathered a huge army, armed themselves and set out on a campaign to rescue their ruler. Anubis decided to repel the onslaught alone. With one swing of his knife, he cut off the heads of all the fighters of the enemy army. The demons' blood soaked into the ground and turned into the red mineral shesaite.
One day Seth brought two boxes containing two Eyes of Wadget, hid them on a rock and, turning into a giant crocodile, lay down next to the boxes to guard them.
Having learned about this, Anubis took the form of a winged serpent with knives instead of feathers and claws. Six snakes emerged from his body, three to his right and three to his left, and they spewed flames around him. At night, Anubis the serpent came to the mountain, opened the boxes with a knife, took both Eyes and, fleeing with them, buried them in another place. And they sprouted and became vines.
Isis asked Anubis to build her a palace next to the buried eyes. Anubis fulfilled his mother's request, and Isis settled in the palace.
And after some time, the solar god Ra gave both Eyes of Wadjet to Anubis, making him an earthly ruler. Joyfully he left <...> Anubis, pleased in his heart that he had finally received the rank of his father Osiris.
