With this object he persuaded the Phoenicians to resign a certain part of the sums due them from the treasury, and to cover the rest he drew from the labyrinth the enormous sum of thirty thousand talents. Thanks to these measures, in the course of three months peace and prosperity were established in Egypt. "May the rule of the viceroy, San-Amen-Herhor be blessed!" said the people.
The dove-eyed goddess Astaroth had avenged the wrong done her priestess. From the death of Ramses XIII till the day of his burial the state was governed by the most worthy San-Amen-Herhor as high priest of the Theban Amon, and viceroy of the late pharaoh. The government of the viceroy, lasting some months, was very prosperous for Egypt.
Then those present began the ceremony of offering homage, which lasted a couple of hours. After that a proper act was written; those who took part in the election placed their seals on it, and from that moment San-Amen-Herhor was the real pharaoh, the lord of both worlds, also of the life and death of his subjects.
Luckily, the gods themselves, in setting aside useless rivals, have indicated a man most worthy of power, and it seems to me that I shall act wisely if, instead of receiving the crown offered me graciously, I answer, "May he live through eternity, his holiness, San-Amen-Herhor, the first pharaoh of a new dynasty!"
