resting-place of Ahura and her child Mer-ab?" The ancient said to
Setna: "It was told by the father of the father of my father to the father
of my father, and the father of my father has told it to my father; the
resting-place of Ahura and of her child Mer-ab is in a mound south of the
town of Pehemato(?)." And Setna said to the ancient, "Perhaps we may do
damage to Pehemato, and you are ready to lead one to the town for the sake
of that." The ancient replied to Setna: "If one listens to me, shall he
therefore destroy the town of Pehemato! If they do not find Ahura and her
child Mer-ab under the south corner of their town may I be disgraced."
They attended to the ancient, and found the resting-place of Ahura and her
child Mer-ab under the south corner of the town of Pehemato. Setna laid
them in the royal boat to bring them as honored persons, and restored the
town of Pehemato as it originally was. And Na.nefer.ka.ptah made Setna to
know that it was he who had come to Koptos, to enable them to find out
where the resting-place was of Ahura and her child Mer-ab.

So Setna left the haven in the royal boat, and sailed without stopping,
and reached Memphis with all the soldiers who were with him. And when they
told the King he came down to the royal boat. He took them as honored
persons escorted to the catacombs, in which Na.nefer.ka.ptah was, and
smoothed down the ground over them.

_This is the completed writing of the tale of Setna Kha.em.uast, and
Na.nefer.ka.ptah, and his wife Ahura, and their child Mer-ab. It was
written in the 35th year, the month Tybi._

One day, when King Khufu reigned over all the land, he said to his
chancellor, who stood before him, "Go call me my sons and my councillors,
that I may ask of them a thing." And his sons and his councillors came and
stood before him, and he said to them, "Know ye a man who can tell me
tales of the deeds of the magicians?"

Then the royal son Khafra stood forth and said, "I will tell thy Majesty a
tale of the days of thy forefather Nebka, the blessed; of what came to
pass when he went into the temple of Ptah of Ankhtaui."

Khafra's Tale

"His Majesty was walking unto the temple of Ptah, and went unto the house
of the chief reciter Uba-aner, with his train. Now when the wife of
Uba-aner saw a page, among those who stood behind the King, her heart
longed after him; and she sent her servant unto him, with a present of a
