15.1 on the second day, Bata took the form he had told his elder brother of; and Anubis
15.2 sat on his back until daybreak; and he reached the place where Pharaoh was; and it was
15.3 made known to his majesty, life, prosperity, health! and he beheld him, and rejoiced over him exceedingly, and made
15.4 a great offering before him, saying: "This is a great wonder that has come to pass!" And the whole land rejoiced over him; and
15.5 they weighed him out in silver and gold for his elder brother; and he settled in his town; and there were given him
15.6 many people, and many things; and Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health! loved him more than all the people in the whole land.
15.7 Now, many days after this, he entered the temple slaughterhouse, and took his place at the spot
15.8 where the Great Favorite was; and he began to speak with her, saying: "See, I am still alive!" And she
15.9 said to him: "Who are you, then?" And he said to her: "I am Bata. I knew, when you
15.10 had the pine cut down for Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!, that it was on my account, to keep me from living. See,

15.3 His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!, learn of him. And His Majesty saw him, and he became very glad about him, and he made
15.4 a great offering for him, saying: "A great marvel has happened!" And they cheered for him in the whole land. Then
15.5 he was weighed out in silver and gold for his elder brother, and he settled in his town, and they gave
15.6 him many people and many things. And Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!, loved him far more than all the people in the whole land.
15.7 Then, many days after this, he went into the temple slaughterhouse(?), and he stood where
15.8 the favorite was. And he began to speak with her, saying: "Look, I am still alive!" And she
15.9 said to him: "Who are you?" And he said to her: "I am Bata. I know that when you had the pine chopped up for Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!,
