mits of the land
of Pa ... thou dost not

27.2 answer me anyhow: thou givest me no account; come let me tell all
that happened to thee at the end of thy road. I begin

27.3 for thee at the dwelling of Sestsou (Rameses): hast thou not forced
thy way therein? Hast thou not eaten fishes of...?

27.4 Hast thou not bathed therein? Oh, come, let us describe Atsion to
thee: where is its fortress?

27.5 Come to the house of Ouati; to
Sestsou-em-paif-nakhtou-ousormara;(461) to Sats ... aal,

27.6 also to Aksakaba? I have pictured to you Ainini. Knowest thou not its
customs? Nekhai,

27.7 and Rehoboth, hast thou not seen them since thy birth, O eminent
Mohar? Raphia,

27.8 how about its entrenchment? It covers the space of an _aour_ going
toward Gaza.

27.9 Answer quickly, and speak to me of what I have said of a Mohar
concerning thee. I have thunderstruck

28.1 the strangers at thy name of Marina: I have told them of thy fierce
humor, according to which word thou saidst: "I am fit for all works; I
have been taught by my father, who had verified his judgment millions of
times. I

28.2 can hold the reins, and also am skilful in action. Courage never
forsakes my limbs; I am of the race Mentou."

All that issues from thy tongue is very thwarting: thy phrases

28.3 are very puzzling: thou comest to me enveloped in difficulties
charged with recrimination. Thou cuttest off the discourse of those who
come in thy presence; thou dost not disgust thyself with fumbling, and

28.4 with a stern face sayest: "Hasten ye: and desist not! How to do not
to be able to succeed in it, and how to do to succeed in it?"(462) No! I
stop not, for I arrive; let thy preoccupation get calmed:

28.5 tranquillize thy heart: prepare not privations for him who offerest
himself to eat. I have mutilated the end of thy book, and I send it to
thee back, as thou didst request; thy orders accumulate on my tongue, they
rest on my lips:

28.6 but they are difficult to understand; an unskilful man could not
distinguish them; they are like the words of a man of Athou with a man of
Abou. Yet thou art a scribe of Pharaoh; whose goodness reveals the essence
of the universe.

28.7 Be gracious when seeing this work, and say not, "Thou hast made my
name repugnant to the rabble, to all men." See I have made for thee the
portrait of the Mohar: I have travelled for thee through foreign
provinces. I have collected

28.8 for thee nations and cities after their
