Abstract

Adoration of Hapy: Hail to you, Hapy, Sprung from earth, Come to nourish Egypt! Of secret ways A darkness by day, To whom his followers sing! Who floods the fields that Re has made, To nourish all who thirst; Lets drink the waterless desert, His dew descending from the sky. Friend of Geb, lord of Nepri, Promoter of the arts of Ptah.
