He then read the spell upon the workmen that he hadmade, and taken from the haven, and said to them, 'Work for me, back tothe place from which I came. ' And they toiled night and day, and so hecame back to the place where I sat by the river of Koptos; I had notdrunk nor eaten anything, and had done nothing on earth, but sat likeone who is gone to the grave. "I then told Na. Nefer. Ka. Ptah that I wished to see this book, for whichwe had taken so much trouble. He gave the book into my hands; and... when Iread a page of the spells in it I also enchanted heaven and earth, theabyss, the mountains, and the sea; I also knew what the birds of thesky, the fishes of the deep, and the beasts of the hills all said. Iread another page of the spells, and I saw the sun shining in the skywith all the gods, the full moon, and the stars in their shapes; I sawthe fishes of the deep, for a divine power was present that brought themup from the water. As I could not write, I asked Na. Nefer. Ka. Ptah, whowas a good writer, and a very learned one; he called for a new piece ofpapyrus, and wrote on it all that was in the book before him.
