_ When Yug was Yug no more men said unto Alhireth-Hotep: "Be thou our prophet, and be as wise as Yug." And Alhireth-Hotep said: "I am as wise as Yug." And men were very glad. And Alhireth-Hotep said of Life and Death: "These be the affairs of Alhireth-Hotep." And men brought gifts to him. One day Alhireth-Hotep wrote in a book: "Alhireth-Hotep knoweth All Things, for he hath spoken with Mung." And Mung stepped from behind him, making the sign of Mung, saying: "Knowest thou All Things, then, Alhireth-Hotep?" And Alhireth-Hotep became among the Things that Were. _ |
