Busiris. There were several places of this name, i.e. ‘town of Osiris’. H. (59. 2) says this one was ‘in the midst of the Delta’, i.e. he probably means the capital of the Busiris nome, on the left bank of the Sebennytic Nile.

πρότερον. Cf. c. 40; for τύπτονται cf. 40. 4; it takes an accus. ad sensum here as in 42. 6.

τόν: Osiris, whom (as usual, cf. 86. 2; 132. 2) H. does not name.
