All this was known to Ameres and the few who, like him, had been admitted to the inmost mysteries of the Egyptian religion.

If the rise of the river was deficient, he always set the example of remitting the rents of the tenants of his broad lands, and was ready to lend money without interest to tenants of harder or more necessitous landlords. Yet among the high priesthood Ameres was regarded with suspicion, and even dislike.
We will find it! while others again shouted out 'Down with the impious priest! Ameres replied, 'You can search the place if you will; though, indeed, it seems that you need not my permission, seeing that you have taken the matter into your own hands. Only I pray you enter not the house.
