Relying on the opinion of his counselors, who a month earlier had been officers of his holiness, Musawasa supposed, with perfect judgment, that his son would plunder hundreds of villages and small places from Teremethis to Senti-Nofer, before he would meet important Egyptian forces.
"The holy prophets will manage us so that Musawasa will take Lower Egypt, and we shall have to flee to Thebes, if not to Sunnu, unless the Ethiopians drive us also from that place." "Thou speakest truth," replied Tutmosis; "our rulers' acts resemble those of traitors." They began to amuse themselves at two in the afternoon, and before sunset all present were drunk.
So spoke the crafty Libyan prince, Musawasa, and after he had finished speaking he prostrated himself again. But when the pharaoh's heir heard these wise words his eyes glittered, and his nostrils dilated like those of a young stallion which after good feeding runs to a field where mares are at pasture. "Rise, Musawasa, and listen to what I tell thee.
At thirty steps from the chariot of the heir Musawasa and those who were with him, the foremost of the Libyans, fell upon their faces and lay on the sand till command to rise was given them through the prince's adjutant. When they had approached a few steps they fell again; later they fell a third time, and rose only at command of Ramses.
