Never was there a message without a reply. I never refused any of the messages. “(And when) _Amenophis III_ was obliged to be taken to his fate, and they told (me) ... I tore my cheeks, and I mourned on that same day; I sat (in the dust?); I (took) no food or water that same day; and I was grieved ...
