Allusion has already been made more than once to the Egyptian papyrus, usually known as The Travels of a Mohar, and in which a satirical account is given of a tour in Palestine and Syria. The writer was a professor, apparently of literature, in the court of Ramses II., and he published a series of letters to his friend, Nekht-sotep, which were long admired as models of style.
GERMAN PANIC, or MOHAR. I notice this plant here, although it is not a native of this country; neither is it in cultivation. It was introduced some years since by Sir Thomas Tyrrwhit from Hungary. It is said there to be the best food of all others for horses; and I think it might be cultivated to advantage on high sandy soils, as a late crop of green fodder. PANICUM crus galli.
Shortly after the death of the Mohar, the charioteer Mena had proposed for Nefert's hand, but would have been refused if the king himself had not supported the suit of his favorite officer. After the wedding, she retired with Nefert to Mena's house, and undertook, while he was at the war, to manage his great estates, which however had been greatly burthened with debt by his father.
"But who shall set the brand to the room which Nemu and the slave have filled with straw and pitch?" asked Ani. "I," said Katuti decidedly. "And one who has nothing to look for from Rameses." "Who is that?" "Paaker." Is the Mohar here?" asked the Regent surprised. "You yourself have seen him." "You are mistaken," said Ani. "I should "
The Mohar turned his full face towards her, and she was frightened at the wild fire that glowed in the glance with which he gazed at her. Nefert's eyes fell, and Paaker, saying: "I would rather remain silent," recommenced his walk, till Nefert called to him again and said, "I know you are angry with me; but I was but a child when I was betrothed to you.
No one denies that you have the first, but the second the sword and the reed-pen are very different weapons, one requires supple fingers, the other a sturdy fist. The king used to complain of your reports is he better satisfied with them now?" "I hope so," replied the Mohar; "my brother Horus is a practised writer, and accompanies me in my journeys." "That is well," said Ani.
Come, I will tell thee all that lies before thee at the end of thy journey. Hast thou not set foot in it by force? Hast thou not eaten the fish in the brook ...? Hast thou not washed thyself in it? With thy permission I will remind thee of Huzana; where is its fortress? The land of the lake of Nakhai, and the land of Rehoburta thou hast not seen since thou wast born, O Mohar.
Thou comest into Joppa. Thou findest the date-palm in full bloom in its time. Thou openest wide the aperture of thy mouth in order to eat. Thou findest that the maid who keeps the garden is fair. She does whatever thou wantest of her.... Thou art recognised, thou art brought to trial, and owest thy preservation to being a Mohar.
Drive along the edge of the precipice, on the slippery height, over a depth of 2000 cubits, full of rocks and boulders. Thou takest thy way back in a zigzag, thou bearest thy bow, thou takest the iron in thy left hand. Thou lettest the old men see, if their eyes are good, how, worn-out with fatigue, thou supportest thyself with thy hand. Il est perdu, le chameau, le Mohar! Eh bien!
Paaker preceded her, and rolled a flat piece of limestone, inlaid by nature with nodules of flint, under the stone pavilion, crushed a few scorpions which had taken refuge there, spread his head-cloth over the hard seat, and said, "Here you are sheltered." Nefert sank down on the stone and watched the Mohar, who slowly and silently paced backwards and forward in front of her.
