SETNE KHAMUAS, son of RAMESES, / High Priest of PTAH, beneath his garden trees / Dwelt with his wife and children; wise was he / In Books of power and ancient Masteries.
And much he pondered on a tale they told, / How NEFREKEPTA, dead in days of old, / Held still the Book of HERMES which is THOTH / Hid in his tomb, and never loosed his hold.
