17.1 into two great persea trees, each of them first-rate; and they went to say to his majesty, life, prosperity, health!:
17.2 "Two great persea trees have grown, a great wonder for his majesty, life, prosperity, health! in the night beside the great gate of his majesty, life, prosperity, health!" And they rejoiced
17.3 over them in the whole land; and offerings were made to them. Now, many days after this, his majesty, life, prosperity, health!
17.4 appeared at the window of lapis lazuli, with a garland of onions and flowers of every kind on his neck, and he [mounted] a chariot of electrum,
17.5 and went out from the palace, life, prosperity, health! to view the persea trees; and the Great Favorite went out in a chariot behind Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!
17.6 Then his majesty, life, prosperity, health! sat down under one persea tree, and the Great Favorite under the other; and Bata spoke with his wife: "Ho, you liar!
17.7 I am Bata! I live in spite of you. I knew the deed you did, when you had them cut down the pine for Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health! —
17.8 it was on my account; and I became a bull, and you had me slain!" Now, many days after this,
17.9 the Great Favorite again stood pouring for his majesty, life, prosperity, health! and he felt happy with her; and she said to his majesty, life, prosperity, health!: "Swear
17.10 an oath to me by God, saying: 'Whatever the Great Favorite shall say to me, I shall hear it for you' — so you shall say!" And he heard all she said,

17.1 great persea trees, and each of them was first rate. Then word was taken to His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!: "Two great persea trees
17.2 have grown as a great marvel for His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!, in the night, beside the great door of His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!" And they
17.3 cheered for them in the whole land, and offerings were made to them. Then, many days after this, His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!
17.4 appeared at the window of lapis lazuli, with a garland of onions(?) and every kind of flower at his neck, and he rode on a chariot of electrum.
17.5 And he went out of the palace, life, prosperity, health!, to look at the persea trees, and the favorite went out on a horse team behind Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!
17.6 And His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!, sat down under one persea tree, and the favorite under the other persea tree. Then Bata spoke with his wife:
17.7 "Ho, you liar! I am Bata. I am alive, in spite of you. I know the order you gave, that they cut down the pine for Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health!, and it was because of me,
17.8 and I have become a bull, and you had me killed." Then, many days after this,
17.9 the favorite again set about pouring drink for His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!, and he felt well with her. And she said to His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!:
17.10 "Swear to me by god, saying: Whatever the favorite says to me, I will obey her in it, that is what you shall say!" And
