Excerpt: ...left him about two hours ago, so say the guard. When I came in to see how his Majesty rested but now, I found him thus." Now Tua lifted up her head and spoke, saying: "My divine Father is helpless, and therefore again I rule alone in Egypt. Hear me and obey. Let the Prince Abi be brought from his prison to the inner hall, for I would question him at once. Let the waiting-woman, Merytra, be brought also under guard with drawn swords."
