396 THE STELA OE PIANKHI oh. xn.

Wilt thou not grant me to become one of the king's servants, and
to pay tribute of my productions for the treasury [like those who
pay contributions] (57) of their productions ? I will furnish thee
more than they do.'

Then he offered silver, gold, blue and green stones, iron, and
many jewels. (58) Then was the treasury filled with these gifts.
He led forward a horse with his right hand, in his left was a
sistrum, and the striking-plate was of gold and blue stones. Then
the king went forth out of (59) his palace, and betook himself to
the temple of Tehuti, the lord of the city of the eight (gods)
(Akhmun, Hermopolis Magna). He sacrificed oxen, calves, and
birds, to his father Tehuti, the lord of the city of" the eight (gods),
and to the eight deities in the (60) temple of the eight deities. And
the people of Hermopolis played a hymn, and they sang : ' Beauti-
ful is Horus, who abides in (61) his city, the son of the Sun,
Piankhi ! Thou makest festival for us, as if thou wert the tutelar
lord of the nome of Hermopolis.'

When the king had entered into (62) the house of KingNimrod,
he visited all the chambers of the king, his treasury and his store-
rooms. And he was content.

Then came (63) to him the king's wives and the king's
daughters, and they praised his Majesty after the manner of
women, but his Majesty did not turn his countenance upon
(64) them.

When his Majesty visited the stables and the studs of foals, he
observed that [they had] (65) let them starve. He said : ' I swear,
as surely as the youthful Sun-god Pta loves me, as surely as I breathe
in life, it is a viler thing to my heart (66) to let the horses starve,
than all the other faults that thou hast committed. That thou
hast laid thy heart bare through this, evidence is furnished me of
thy habitual views (!). (67) Hast thou forgotten that the shadow
of God rests upon me ? The proof thereof shall not be wanting to
him on my part ! (68) Would that another had done such a thing
to me, an ignorant man, not a haughty one, as he is ! I was born
out of my mother's womb, and created out of the egg of a divine
essence. I was begotten (69) by a god. By his name ! I will not
forget him in what he has commanded me to do.' Then he ordered
his (Nimrod's) possessions to be assigned to the treasury, (70) and
his granaries to the property of the god Amen of Apet.

When the prince of Heracleopolis Magna, Pef-tot-Bast, had
come with his presents (71) to the great house of the god-like one
(Piankhi), with gold, silver, fine precious stones, horses from the
best of his stable, then he threw himself prostrate before his Majesty,
and spake thus : ' Hail to thee, Horus, (72) mighty king ! Bull
