7. They measure a foot (square): he thus treads evil, corruption, under foot. They are unmarked; for whatever is not, that is unmarked (by characteristics): he thus makes evil, corruption to be non-existent. They get baked by (rice) husks, for husks belong to Nirriti: by Nirriti’s own (objects) he thus performs Nirriti’s rite. They are black, for black was that darkness; and black in truth is Nirriti (corruption).
