Note 17 — Chapter I
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
The speaker now assumes the persons of various priests in succession, the āb, the ḥen nutȧr (prophet), the sem, and the ura ḫerp ḥem;[7] and he describes himself as performing certain religious ceremonies. It must never be forgotten when reading these texts that the Egyptian priests had divine titles, and that their ceremonies were dramatic, and symbolical of the acts performed by the gods.
