say) about Hes-n-Amen. Why, his son is in the
very thick of it all the while at Mount Hor. He
himself stuck to the Regent up to the very day of
his death, and his father and mother stopped be-
hind, we all know why. Salvation to his limbs.
Seti for ever.
The distinctive peculiarities which I affirmed
would be found to characterize the second division
of the papyrus, may now be very briefly alluded to,
under the heads of the arrangement of paragraphs,
the idiomatic phraseology, and the agents intro-
duced. Under the first head I have already al-
luded to the absence of chorus, and though the
usual two lines is here also dedicated to compli-
ment when the name of the king is introduced,
there is, on the whole, a marked diminution of
flummery and adjunctive ornament. There is, in
fact, as I said, no more drama, but a collection of
state documents, which bear upon their face an
evident appearance both of authenticity and indi-
viduality. Secondly, it would be hardly worth
while to give the instances in English, but the stu-
dent, now that his attention is drawn to it, will
easily be able to see that the phrases immediately
following the word " paragraph," form another dis-
tinction between the divisions in question. And
lastly, the officers now about to figure before us
belong generally to a different college from that of
Amen-m-Heb. They are of the immediate party
of Seti, whereas Amen-m-Heb and his juniors were
successively in the service of the Regents, the two
Meneptahs.
