Since this priest says that the temple is not defended, let me go to it with a handful of men whom I will select." "I am with thee!" said Kalippos. "According to my experience, an enemy while triumphant is the weakest. If we attack the temple of Ptah immediately." "Ye do not need to attack, but go in there as executives of the pharaoh who commands you to imprison traitors," said the chief scribe.
After death these sacred bulls, which were distinguished by peculiar marks, had extraordinarily costly obsequies; they were called the risen Ptah, and regarded as the symbol of the soul of Osiris, by whose procreative power all that dies or passes away is brought to new birth and new life the departed soul of man, the plant that has perished, and the heavenly bodies that have set.
"A message for thee, O Son of Ptah," Nechutes said. At a sign from the king, the messenger came forward, knelt and delivered the scroll. The king looked at the writing on the wrapping. "From whom dost thou bring this?" he asked. "From Jambres, the mystic, O Son of Ptah." "Ah!" It was the tone of one who has his surmises proved. "Now, what is contained herein?"
"They are very old," he said, "but most of them, like the walls and those temples of Amon and Ptah, have been rebuilt in the time of my grandfather or since his day by the labour of Israelitish slaves who dwell yonder in the rich land of Goshen." "They must have cost much gold," I answered. "The Kings of Egypt do not pay their slaves," remarked the Prince shortly.
They brought us to a very fine house, with all good things; and Na.nefer.ka.ptah spent four days there and feasted with the priests of Isis of Koptos, and the wives of the priests of Isis also made holiday with me. "And the morning of the fifth day came; and Na.nefer.ka.ptah called a priest to him, and made a magic cabin that was full of men and tackle.
Harischandra and Viswamitra, the Job and Satan of Hindoo Passion-Play. Scandinavian Legends. Fridthjof and Ingeborg. Persian Ideals. Zoroastrian Heaven and Hell. "Home of Song," and "Home of the Lie." Truth the Main Cardinal Virtue with Egyptians. No Hope for the Liar. Ptah, "Lord of Truth." Truth Fundamental to Deity. Relatively Low Standard of Greeks. Incidental Testimony of Herodotus.
The high priest of the temple of Ptah, the holy Sem, knocked at the door of the cell. "Peace to you," said he, entering. "Blessing to thy heart." "I came, for ye were raising your voices as if some misfortune had happened. Does this war with the wretched Libyans not surprise you?" "What dost Thou think of the prince, the heir to the throne?" asked Mentezufis, interrupting him.
At the first hour after sunrise victims had been sacrificed in the temple of Ptah, the most ancient, and most vast of the sanctuaries of the venerable capital of the Pharaohs; the sacred Apis-bull, but recently introduced into the temple, was hung all over with golden ornaments; early in the morning Euergetes had paid his devotions to the sacred beast which had eaten out of his hand, a favorable augury of success for his plans; and the building in which the Apis lived, as well as the stalls of his mother and of the cows kept for him, had been splendidly decked with flowers.
It seems as if we should connect this with the pataikoi who were worshipped by Phoenician sailors as dwarf figures, the name being similar. This points to a connection of the Phoenician race with the dynastic Egyptians. Ptah was worshipped in all ages down to Greek times. +Min+ was the male principle. He was worshipped mainly at Ekhmim and Koptos, and was there identified with Pan by the Greeks.
And Na.nefer.ka.ptah won a game from Setna; and he put the spell upon him, and defended himself with the game board that was before him, and sunk him into the ground above his feet. He did the same at the second game, and won it from Setna, and sunk him into the ground to his waist. He did the same at the third game, and made him sink into the ground up to his ears.
