ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the hieroglyphic and Greek versions, is wanting in the Demotic version. This Decree shall be inscribed by the Councillor-priests of temple, and by the governors of temple, and by the sacred scribes, upon a stele of stone or bronze in the sacred writing, and in the writing of the books, and in Greek writing, and shall be set up in the hall of assembly of the people in the temples of the first, second, and third class, so that all people may see how great is the honour which the priests of the temples of Egypt pay to the Good-doing Gods, and to their children, as is most right. This title shall be inscribed in documents of every kind, and their title, so far as it refers to the Good-doing Gods, shall be cut upon the seal-rings which they carry, and it shall be engraved on the flat surface thereof.
