11.1 they did not know what they were to do. And the chief of the washermen of Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health! went down to the shore, his heart bitterly
11.2 displeased over the daily quarrels they had with him; and he stopped and stood on a dune opposite the lock of hair
11.3 that lay in the water; and he had it brought down and brought to him, and its scent was found exceedingly sweet; and he carried it to Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!
11.4 Then the scribes and the learned men were brought to Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health! and they said to Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!: "As for this lock of hair,
11.5 it belongs to a daughter of Pre-Harakhti; the seed of every god is in her. But it is a gift to you from a foreign land; let messengers go
11.6 to every land to seek it; and as for the messenger who shall go to the Valley of the Pine, let many men go
11.7 with him to bring her back." Then his majesty, life, prosperity, health! said: "Exceedingly good is what you have said." And they were sent off in haste. After many
11.8 days, the men who had gone to the foreign lands came back to report to his majesty, life, prosperity, health! but those
11.9 who had gone to the Valley of the Pine had been killed by Bata; and he let one of them remain to report to his majesty, life, prosperity, health!
11.10 Then his majesty, life, prosperity, health! sent out many soldiers again, and likewise a company of chariotry, to fetch her; and

11.1 they did not know what they were to do. And the chief of Pharaoh's washermen, life, prosperity, health!, went to the embankment, and his heart was bitter
11.2 because of the quarrels he had every day. Then he stopped where he was, standing on a mound opposite the lock of hair
11.3 that was in the water. He had them go down and bring it to him, and its scent was found very pleasant. And he carried it to Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!
11.4 Then the scribes and the learned men were brought to Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!, and they said to Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!: "As for this lock of hair,
11.5 it belongs to a daughter of Pre-Harakhti, and the seed of every god is in her. But she is a gift to you from another land. Let
11.6 messengers go to every land to search for her. And as for the messenger who will go to the Valley of the Pine, let many men go with him to bring her back." Then
11.7 His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!, said: "What you have said is very good." And they were sent off in a hurry. After many days,
11.8 the men who had gone to foreign lands came back to report to His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!, but the ones
11.9 who had gone to the Valley of the Pine did not come: Bata had killed them, and he left one of them to report to His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!
11.10 Then His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!, again sent many foot soldiers, and in the same way a troop of chariots, to fetch her. And
