Lot Essay

The nine bands of hieroglyphs around the front and sides of the body read: “Instructions of the Osiris, the God’s Servant (Prophet) of Neith, Horudja, born of Shedet, Justified. He says: If the Osiris, the Prophet of Neith, Horudja, born of Shedet, Justified, is counted in order to do any work which is done in the Necropolis, since a great obstacle is implanted there, as a man to his duty, Look! Here am I! Shall ye say, at any time which is spent in order to cultivate the fields, and irrigate the riverbanks, and convey sand of the East to the West, [Here am I! Thus shall ye say!].”
