2.4 the 200 baskets he had ordered made. He had 200 soldiers climb

2.5 into their openings. Then their arms were filled with fetters and wooden neck-yokes, and the baskets were sealed

2.6 with a seal. Then they were supplied with their straps and their

2.7 carrying poles and iteruru fittings. All the able soldiers were set beneath them to carry them: 500 men in all.

2.8 Then they were told, “When you enter the city, release your

2.9 comrades. Seize everyone in the city and put them in fetters

2.10 at once.” Then someone went out to tell the charioteer of the enemy of Joppa: “Thus speaks your

2.11 master: ‘Go and tell your mistress, “Rejoice! Seth has given us Djehuti, together with his wife and children.

2.12 Behold the first of their tribute!”’ This is what you shall tell her about these 200 baskets,” which were full of men,

2.13 wooden neck-yokes and fetters. Then he went before them to gladden his mistress’s heart,

2.14 saying, “We have captured Djehuti.” Then the gates of the city were opened before the soldiers.
