The Egyptian Book of the dead

Note 5 — Part I.

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

This is only an approximate version of a passage, the true text of which was lost at an early period. M. Maspero (Origines, p. 189) understands it as follows: “Je n’ai jamais imposé du travail à l’homme libre quelconque, en plus de celui qu’il faisait pour luimême!” The last words are the translation of , according to Td. (tomb of Ramses IV) all the other ancient texts having , ‘for me.’ But the chief difficulties occur at the beginning of the sentence.
