ABSTRACT
Har]dedef said: 1 “ There is a townsman, Dedi by name, and he dwelleth in Ded-snefru.2 He is a townsman of n o years, and he eateth five hundred loaves of bread, a haunch of beef in the way of meat, and drinketh one hundred jugs of beer, unto this very day.3 He knoweth how to put on again a head that hath been cut off, and he knoweth how to make a lion follow after him, with its leash4 trailing on the ground. He knoweth the number (?) of the locks 6 (?) of the sanctuary of Thoth.” — Now the majesty of King Kheops was always seeking for himself the locks (?) of the sanctuary of Thoth, to make for himself the like thereof for his Horizon.6
