33 thy porch is magnificent; its doors are like the horizon of the sky, in order that the multitude may worship thee. Thy magnificent dwelling has been built inside its walls; thy divine image is in its 34 mysterious shrine, resting on its high foundation; I have provided it abundantly with priests, prophets, and cultivators, with land and with cattle; I have reckoned its offerings by hundreds of thousands of good things; thy festival of thirty years is celebrated there 35 as thou hast prescribed it to me thyself; all things flock to thee in the great offering day which thou desirest; the bulls and calves are innumerable; all the pieces of their flesh are by millions; the smoke of their fat reaches heaven and is received within the sky. 36 I give that all lands may see the beauty of the buildings which I have created to thee; I have marked with thy name all inhabitants and foreigners of the whole land; they are to thee forever; for thou hast created them, to be under the command of thy son, who is on 37 thy throne, the master of gods and men, the lord who celebrates the festivals of thirty years like thou, he who wears the double sistrum, the son of the white crown, and the issue of the red diadem, who unites the two countries in peace, the King of Egypt, Rā-userma-sotep-en-Rā, the son of Rā, Rameses, beloved of Amen, living eternally. Hymn To Osiris (Stele of Amen-em-ha, Eighteenth Dynasty) Translated by M. François Chabas This stele is one of the usual funereal tablets which are found in the cemeteries at Memphis and Thebes. The upper part of the tablet is round, and has the two sacred eyes and symbolical signets, which, as well as the winged globe, almost invariably surmount these sacred inscriptions, and of which the meaning has not yet been satisfactorily determined. Immediately below this emblem are two vignettes: in the first a functionary named Amen-em-ha (“Amen at the beginning”) presents a funereal offering to his father Amen-mes (“Amen’s son,” or, “born of Amen”) the steward of the deity’s flocks,(439) beside whom is his deceased wife Nefer-t-aru and a young boy, his son, Amen-em-ua (“Amen in the bark”). In the second vignette, a principal priest (_heb_) of Osiris, dressed in the sacerdotal leopard’s skin, offers incense to the lady Te-bok (“The servant-maid”); below is a row of kneeling figures, namely: two sons, Si-t-mau (“Son of the mother”), Amen-Ken (“Amon the warlike”), and four daughters, Meri-t-ma (“Loving justice”), Amen-Set (“Daughter of Amen”), Souten-mau (“Royal Mother”), and Hui-em-neter (“Food for god”). As there is no indication of relationship between the subjects of the two vignettes, it may be inferred that Te-Bok was a second wife of Amen-em-ha.
