Reading edition

When it was evening they all again entered the temple—the chiefs, the priests, and all the deities—to pray. The king offered pigs, bananas, coconuts and a dead man as a sacrifice, after which they repaired to the House of Papa,28 according to the ordinance of the priest of that house.
