More found notes, this time from the Met's mini exhibition on Thoth, roundabout March/April 2011
Let us praise Thoth, the accurate plummet in the balance; who rejects disorder and accepts one who is not inclined to transgression; the vizier who judges affairs and resolves conflict peacefully; the scribe of the mat, who fixes the scroll; who drives off falsehood but accepts the bearer of a healthy greeting; who supports the oath-taker in the midst of the Ennead of gods, who raises up the one who has been ignored, who has a wise face for one who has gone astray.
He who remembers the fleeting moment, who reports the hours of the night, and whose words remain forever; who enters the netherworld, finds out what is in it, and registers them in his list.
