One night in Pi-Bast my own shade appeared to me. That shade was just like me, and even dressed like me. Soon, however, I convinced myself that it was no shade. It was a living man, a certain Lykon, the vile murderer of my son. He began his offences by frightening the Phoenician woman Kama.
So three nights after the prince had departed, the chief of police returned to Pi-Bast, bringing with him a large cage covered with linen, in which was some woman who screamed in heaven-piercing accents. Without lying down to sleep, the chief summoned the officer who had made the investigation, and listened to his report attentively.
This temple was revered throughout Western Asia and attracted throngs of pilgrims. It could be said without exaggeration that outside Pi-Bast thirty thousand strangers camped daily, Arabs, Phoenicians, Jews, Philistines, Hittites, Assyrians, and others.
He turned and went to the gallery among the merchants. "Eat and drink, worthy lords," incited he, making obeisance. "The times are good. The most worthy heir may he live for ever! is going to Pi-Bast with an enormous retinue, but from the upper kingdom a transport of gold has come, of which more than one of you will win a good portion.
That was such a generous gift that the high priest of the temple himself came to Ramses to fall prostrate and thank him for the favor which, as he said, people who loved the goddess would remember during all the ages. Having settled with the temple, the prince summoned the chief of police in Pi-Bast and passed a long hour with him.
Could the priests in this question be deceiving him, the heir to the throne? THE prince journeyed on horseback in company with a number of officers to Pi-Bast, the famous capital of the province of Habu. The sun stood high, heralding the most violent season of heat for Egypt.
So no one believed, with the exception of Tutmosis, that that changeful youth had before him an object for which he would fight with invincible decision. Even this time there was no need to wait long for new proofs of the prince's mobility of temper. To Pi-Bast, in spite of the heat, came Sarah with all her court and her infant.
The Egyptian government bore itself kindly toward these pilgrims, who brought it a considerable income; the priests endured them, and the people of neighboring provinces carried on an active trade with them. For the space of an hour's journey from Pi-Bast the mud huts and tents of strangers covered the open country.
"One of these days a great lord will come to Pi-Bast from Assyria, Sargon, the friend of King Assar. Ye will in fact put seals to that which the priests have determined to the ruin of Phoenicia, and perhaps to your own great misfortune." "Never! What return could Assyria give Egypt?" "That speech is worthy of a pharaoh. What return would Egypt get?
This attracted the attention of the holy Mentezufis, who sent a letter to Herhor with the following contents: "From the time that the Assyrians have arrived at Pi-Bast the heir is feverish, and his court is inclined toward war very greatly. They drink and play dice as before; but all have thrown aside robes and wigs, and, disregarding the awful heat, go about in military caps and mantles.
