16.2 her husband had told her; and he went out from the temple slaughterhouse. And his majesty, life, prosperity, health! sat
16.3 to keep a feast day with her; and she poured for his majesty, life, prosperity, health! and he felt happy with her; and she said to his majesty, life, prosperity, health!: "Swear to me by God, saying:
16.4 'Whatever you shall say, I shall hear it for you.'" And he heard all she said; and she said: "Let me eat of the liver of this bull,
16.5 for he will be good for nothing!" — so she said to him. And he grieved greatly at what she had said, and the heart
16.6 of Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health! ached for him exceedingly. And when the land grew bright, a second day having come, a great feast was proclaimed
16.7 for the bull; and the chief slaughterer of his majesty, life, prosperity, health! was sent to have the bull slaughtered; and

16.2 Her husband went out of the temple slaughterhouse(?). And His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!, sat and kept a feast day with her, and she
16.3 poured drink for His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!, and he felt very well with her. Then she said to His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!:
16.4 "Swear to me by god, that whatever you say, I will obey it." And he listened to everything she said. "Let me eat of the liver of this bull, for he will be good for nothing,"
16.5 she said to him. And he grieved very greatly over what she had said, and the heart
16.6 of Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!, ached for him very much. Then, when the land grew light on the next day, a great offering was called out:
16.7 the offering of the bull. And one of the chief slaughterers(?) of His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!, was sent to have the bull slaughtered. And then
16.8 it was slaughtered. And when it was on the shoulders of the men, it shook its neck, and
16.9 two drops of its blood were thrown beside the two doorposts of His Majesty, life, prosperity, health! The one grew up on one side
16.10 of the great door of Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!, and the other on the other side. And they grew as two
