"These things being so, Sanchuniathon, who was a man of much learning and great curiosity, and desirous of knowing the earliest history of all nations from the creation of the world, searched out with great care the history of Taautus, knowing that of all men under the sun Taautus was the first who thought of the invention of letters, and began the writing of records: and he laid the foundation, as it were, of his history, by beginning with him, whom the Egyptians called Thoyth, and the Alexandrians Thoth, translated by the Greeks into Hermes.”

O Djehuty, take me to Khmun (Hermopolis Megale),

Your City where it is pleasant ,

You supply me what I need in bread and beer,

and watching over the words I utter.

If only Djehuty would be near me tomorrow!

'Come', They say,

and I go into the presence of the Lords of Righteousness.

May I come forth vindicated!

O great doum-palm sixty cubits high,

the one with nuts upon it,

with fruit within the nuts

and water in the fruit,

O you who can bring water from a far off place,

come, rescue me, a thoughtful man!

O Djehuty, a well is sweet

when a man is thirsty in the desert:

it it sealed to one who uncovers his mouth unwisely,

but it is open to the thoughtful man.

Let the thoughtful man come

that he may discover the well for the hot-headed man.

And you shall be filled.
