286 MARRIAGE OF RAMSES II. ch. xii.
on his mouth, nor on the soles of his feet, nor shall any accusation
be brought forward against him.
That which is in the middle of this silver tablet and on its front
side is a likeness of the god Sutekh .... surrounded by an
inscription to this effect : ' This is the [picture] of the god Sutekh,
the king of heaven and [earth].' At the time (?) of the treaty,
which Kheta-sar, the great king of Kheta, made.....
This treaty seems to have been received with great
rejoicings, judging from the letters of that period still
in existence. According to a memorial tablet which
was set up solemnly in the temple at Abu Simbel, and
the long inscription on which begins with the date of
the year 34 of the reign of Ea-messu, the Egyptian king
married the daughter of the king of Kheta. The prince
of Kheta, clad in the dress of his country, himself con-
ducted the bride to his son-in-law. After the marriage
had taken place, the young wife, as queen, received the
name of Ur-maat Neferu-Ea.
The temple at Derr records the presence of Eamses II.
in that country also. There may be seen represented a
razzia of the king against the negroes. In like manner
at Beit-el-Walli are vivid pictures of the Pharaoh's
victories over the land of Cush, the Thuhen, and the
Phoenicians. Evidently he has just returned home and
is holding a court in the temple :—
The deeds of victory are inscribed a hundred thousand times
on the glorious Persea. As the chastiser of the foreigners, who
has placed his boundary-marks according to his pleasure in the
land of the Rutennu, he is in truth the son of Ra, and his very
likeness.
The hereditary prince Amen-her-unam-f appears
before the king, and presents to him a train of captive
negroes, and tributes of leopards' skins, lions, giraffes,
antelopes, gazelles, and of gold rings, ivory, fruits,
and other productions of the south. The king's son of
Cush, Amen-em-ape, a son of Pauer, then stands before
on his mouth, nor on the soles of his feet, nor shall any accusation
be brought forward against him.
