ABSTRACT
[The Teaching of King … for his son Merikare, Dynasty IX–X] See, [the land] which they destroyed is made into districts and every great city [is restored]. The governance of (each) one is in the hands of ten men, a magistrate is appointed who will levy […] the amount of all the taxes. The priest is provided with a farm, and men work for you like a single gang. How is it that disaffection does not occur? (Because) you will not suffer from a Nile which fails to come.
