god are the ovals of six foreign nations, most likely Asiatics: _Auentem_, _Hebuu_, _Tenfu_, _Temuu_, _Hetau_, _Emtebelu_. The inscription above the god is as follows: "Said by PTAH-TOTUNEN, with the high plumes, armed with horns, who generates the gods every day: (I am) thy father, I have begotten thee like a god, to be a king in my stead. I have transmitted to thee all the lands which I have created; their chiefs bring thee their tribute, they come bearing their presents because of their great fear; all foreign nations are united under thy feet, they are to thee eternally; thy eye is fixed on their heads forever." TABLET OF RAMESES II 1 The 35th year, the 13th of the month Tybi, under the reign of Ra-Haremakhu, the strong bull, beloved of truth, the Lord of the Thirty Years, like his father Ptah, Totunen, the Lord of Diadems, the protector of Egypt, the chastiser of foreign lands, Ra, the father of the gods, who possesses Egypt, the golden hawk, the Master of Years, the most mighty sovereign of Upper and Lower Egypt. 2 Ra-userma-sotep-en-Ra, the son of Ra, the issue of Totunen, the child of the Queen Sekhet, Rameses, beloved of Amen, ever living.

I have thought of thee, I have fashioned thee to be the joy of my person, I have brought thee forth like the rising sun, I have raised thee among the gods, King Rameses.

The gods and goddesses exalt thy beauties, they celebrate thee 7 when they give to me their praises, saying: "Thou art our father who has caused us to be born; there is a god like thee, the King Rameses." I look at thee, and my heart is joyful; I embrace thee with my golden arms, and I surround thee with life, purity,
