He had heard the conversation, and said abruptly, "Had there been on your side such an awkward leader as the erpatr, how could we have finished the maneuvers?" "Let the young warrior alone!" answered Nitager. "Is it not enough for thee that he has shown the iron claws, as was proper for a son of the pharaoh?" Tutmosis, noting the turn which the conversation had taken, asked Nitager,
Barely had he said, 'The Nile will rise, and that minute the Nile began to rise." "And didst Thou throw stones, Anup?" "How should I dare to throw stones into the garden of the erpatr? I am a simple fellow, my hand would wither to the elbow for such sacrilege." The prince gave command to stop the examination, and when they had led away the accused, he asked the official,
He dropped from his horse and ran so quickly that on his breast the images of the gods or the tablets with their names rattled loudly. This was Eunana in great excitement. All turned to him, and this gave him pleasure apparently. "Erpatr, the loftiest lips," cried Eunana, bending before Ramses.
It is true that I am a wretch whose gold, precious stones, and whole property is not worth one glance of thine, O prince, but if I go around among our merchants and say who sent me, I shall get fifteen talents even from beneath the earth. Erpatr, if Thou shouldst stand before a withered fig-tree and say 'Give money! the fig-tree would pay thee a ransom.
But what is to be done with the other adherents of Astaroth?" "I make bold to think," said the chief, "that nothing threatens this woman at present. If she had courage, we might employ her to decoy the Greek, and seize him here in thy palaces, O Erpatr." "Then go to her," said the prince, "and lay before her whatever plan Thou mayst think out.
"When the worthy Tutmosis descended before my mud hut my house is a mud hut in comparison with thy palaces, erpatr such was the gleam from his face that I cried at once to my wife, 'Tamara, the worthy Tutmosis has come not from himself, but from one as much higher than he as the Lebanon is higher than the sand of the seashore. 'Whence dost Thou know, my lord, that the worthy Tutmosis has not come for himself? 'Because he could not come with money, since he has none, and he could not come for money, because I have none. At that moment we bowed down both of us to the worthy Tutmosis.
"Erpatr, Thou hast that right," answered the overseer, bowing; and then he added: "The law declares, O child of the sun, that in memory of thy presence men condemned for offences against the state and religion, but who conduct themselves properly, should receive some abatement. A list of such persons will be placed at thy feet within a month."
It is as if Thou wert to beg him not to destroy locusts which devour what is on the fields." "But they are innocent people." "We, worthy lord, cannot know that, for law and the courts decide as to guilt and innocence. One thing is clear to me, the state cannot suffer an attack on any one's garden, and especially cannot suffer that hands should be raised against property of the erpatr."
"And what shall I do with the army?" asked the prince, rubbing his forehead impatiently. "Put away the Jewess, and beg the priests. Perhaps they will make a loan to thee." "Never! I prefer a loan from Phoenicians." The lady shook her head. "Thou art erpatr, act as may please thee. But I say that Thou must give great security, and the Phoenicians, when once thy creditors, will not let thee go.
In the state there are no narrow doors, known as laws, in passing through which each must bow his head, whoever he be, erpatr or earth-worker. In this edifice are various entrances and exits, narrow for the weak and small, very wide, nay, commodious for the powerful." "If this be so," thought the prince, as the idea flashed on him, "I will make the order which shall please me."
