Proceeded his Majesty to the house of Horus Khentkhety, and caused to be offered fat bulls, oxen, ducks, fowl to his father Horus Khentkhety, lord of Kemur. Proceeded his Majesty to the house of the _erpa_ Pediast; he presented him with silver, gold, lapis lazuli, malachite, a great collection of every kind of thing, and stuffs, and royal linen in every count,[174] couches covered with fine linen, frankincense, and unguents in jars, stallions and mares of the leaders of his stable. He [Pediast] cleared himself by the life of God[175] before the face of these kings and great chiefs of the North land:--"Each one of them that hides his horses, that conceals his goods, let him die the death of his father. Thus may it be done to me, whether ye acquit thy humble servant in all things that ye knew of concerning me, or whether ye say I have hidden from his Majesty anything of my father, gold, jewelry, with minerals and ornaments of all kinds, bracelets for the arms, collars for the neck, pendants [?] inlaid with minerals, amulets for every limb, chaplets for the head, rings for the ears, all the apparel of a king, every vessel of royal purification in gold, and every sort of mineral; all these things I have offered before the king, stuffs and clothes in thousands of all the best of my looms. I know by what thou wilt be appeased. Go to the stable, choose thou what thou wilt of all the horses that thou desirest." Then his Majesty did so. [The princes of Lower Egypt return to their cities to fetch further tribute. A revolt at Mesed is promptly suppressed and the city given as a reward to Pediast.] Said these kings and nomarchs before his Majesty, "Let us go to our cities, let us open our treasuries, let us select according to the desire of thy heart, let us bring to thee the best of our stables, the chief of our horses." Then his Majesty did even so. _List of their names_:-- The King Usorkon in Per Bast and the territory of Ranefer; The King Auapeth in Tentremu and Taanta [?]; The nomarch Zedamenafankh in Mendes and the Granary of Ra; His son and heir, the captain of the host in Hermopolis Parva, Ankhhor; The nomarch Akanesh in Thebneter, in Perhebyt, and in Smabehed; The nomarch and chief of the Me, Pathenf in Per-Sepd and in the Granary of Anbuhez; The nomarch and chief of the Me, Pamai in Busiris; The nomarch and chief of the Me, Nesnakedy in Heseb-ka; The nomarch and chief of the Me, Nekhthornashenut in Pergerer;[176] The chief of the Me, Pentuart; The chief of the Me, Pentabekhent; The priest of Horus, lord of Letopolis, Pedihorsmataui; The nomarch Hurobasa in the house of Sekhemt mistress of Sa, and the house of Sekhemt mistress of Rohesaut; The nomarch Zedkhiau in Khentnefer; The nomarch Pabas in Kheraha and the house of Hapi.
