"It is a complete rebellion," cried Katuti. "Take care, you lordlings; Ameni and the other prophets are not to be trifled with." "Nor we either," said Rameri laughing, "If Pentaur is kept in banishment, I shall appeal to my father to place me at the school at Heliopolis or Chennu, and the others will follow me. Come, Bent-Anat, I must be back in the trap before sunset.
The most famous are the hymns of Anana, Pentaur's favorite disciple, and the tale of the two Brothers, composed by Gagabu, the grandson of the old Prophet. Ameni did not remain in Thebes.
As soon as they were alone Ameni asked the poet "Why did you refuse to announce to the people the miracle, which has filled all the priests of the Necropolis with joy?" "Because thou hast taught me," replied Pentaur, "that truth is the highest aim we can have, and that there is nothing higher." "I tell you so again now," said Ameni.
Here Ameni himself had announced to the multitude the miracle of the sacred heart, and had proclaimed that a new Apis had been found among the herds of the Regent Ani.
Rameses himself presented him to the God, and they gave it his name. A bad omen." "And Apis too is dead!" The haruspex threw up his arms in lamentation. "His Divine spirit has returned to God," replied Ameni. "Now we have much to do. Before all things we must prove ourselves equal to those in Thebes over there, and win the people over to our side.
He went affectionately up to his friend, and eagerly held out his hand. Pentaur grasped it, pressed it warmly, and said: "That was a fearful moment!

When Setchem, much encouraged, was gone away, Ameni said to himself: "She will find splendid compensation for this coarse scoundrel, and she shall not spoil the tool we need to strike our blow.
"Art thou at an end of thy communications?" he asked the high-priest. "It remains for me to inform you all," replied Ameni with a louder voice, to be heard by all the assembled dignitaries, "that the princess Bent- Anat yesterday morning committed a heavy sin, and that in all the temples in the land the Gods shall be entreated with offerings to take her uncleanness from her."
'Only stainless garments, he said, 'befit this feast; only hearts without spot. So, brother, I will not hear an evil word about Ameni, who is most likely forced to be severe by the law; my father will enquire into it all and decide. My heart is so full, it must overflow. Come, Nefert, give me a kiss, and you too, Rameri.
