"The original of this tale is in demotic Egyptian, in prose, on a fragmentary papyrus dated ʻthe first month of winter, in the fifteenth year' of some king unnamed. Palaeographical evidence suggests some date about 100 B.C. ... I know the tale only from the literal translation which accompanies the textin Dr. Griffith's Stories of the high priests of Memphis."--Pref.
