cup. Then Anpu took the cup of cold water, in
which the soul of his younger brother was; Bata drank it, his soul stood
again in its place, and he became as he had been. They embraced each
other, and they conversed together.

And Bata said to his elder brother: "Behold I am to become as a great
bull, which bears, every good mark; no one knoweth its history, and thou
must sit upon my back. When the sun arises I shall be in the place where
my wife is, that I may return answer to her; and thou must take me to the
place where the King is. For all good things shall be done for thee; for
one shall lade thee with silver and gold, because thou bringest me to
Pharaoh, for I become a great marvel, and they shall rejoice for me in all
the land. And thou shalt go to thy village."

And when the land was lightened, and the next day appeared, Bata became in
the form which he had told to his elder brother. And Anpu sat upon his
back until the dawn. He came to the place where the King was, and they
made his Majesty to know of him; he saw him, and he was exceeding joyful
with him. He made for him great offerings, saying, "This is a great wonder
which has come to pass." There were rejoicings over him in the whole land.
They presented unto him silver and gold for his elder brother, who went

causedst that they should destroy the acacia of Pharaoh, which was my
abode, that I might not be suffered to live. Behold, I am alive indeed, I
am as an ox." Then the princess feared exceedingly for the words that her
husband had spoken to her. And he went out from the purified place.

And his Majesty was sitting, making a good day with her: she was at the
table of his Majesty, and the King was exceeding pleased with her. And she
said to his Majesty, "Swear to me by God, saying, 'What thou shalt say, I
will obey it for thy sake.' " He hearkened unto all that she said, even
this. "Let me eat of the liver of the ox, because he is fit for naught."
Thus spake she to him. And the King was exceeding sad at her words, the
heart of Pharaoh
