“ I built thee thy house of millions of years on the estate (?) of Amon Ra of Karnak, Kha- em-maat, the sublime of electron, the place of repose of my father at all of his festivals, which is excellently made of beautiful light-coloured sandstone, orna- mented all over with gold |=s. The ornaments of its floor are of silver, all its gates of gold. Two great obelisks are erected, one on each side, between which my father rises. ”

“ Beautiful in thy shining ... on the back of thy mother. Thou shinest as king of the cycle of nine gods. Thou makest (dry [k?] ) [life?] to every one (her neb?) . The goddess of truth embraces thee always. Thou courseth through (nemtak) the heaven, thy heart being glad. The sea of the two swords has become ...... his arms ......'" The prophet named here is known also by another inscription (L.D. iii, 62b) , where he has the titles "high priest of Amen in the tomb-temple of Tahutmes III, Ra" (see Spiegelberg in Rec. Trav. xix, 87) . ”

“ Thou art going down |3 with the royal offering, consisting of all good and sweet things, the sacred linen (?) is brought to thy sacrifices, thou art followed by thy kas to thy pure places, to thy places of Ra-kreret, |* in peace, in peace, with the great god, the great major-domo Duaui-er-neheh, the deceeised. He speaks to the men who are living: I tell you what happened |5 to me when I was follower of the king. ”

“ Fig. 7. A sandstone tablet with Tahutmes IV before a god, probably Amen. The end of inscription remaining is redát mu "giving water," showing that the king was offering water. Below is, "For I have settled (gerget na) the fortress of Tahutmes IV among the tribes of Palestine [with everything] his majesty took in the town of Qaza ......" Perhaps "Tahutmes IV among the tribes of Palestine" is the proper name of the fortress, like one names "Tahutmes III the encloser of the Sati" (Annals, L.D. iii, 32, line 21) . ”

“ Limestone tablet, reused in the buildings of the forecourt of Tahutmes IV. "An offering which the king gives to Osiris Khentamenti, the Great God, Lord of the Necropolis, that he may give the funeral sacrifice of bread, beer, oxen, geese, linen cloths, vegetables, oil, thousands of all good and pure things, offerings, provisions, liquids, and all vegetables, which the heaven gives, the earth creates, and the Nile brings out of his source ”
