You are a blockhead! Work is (after all) what you know. You cannot say: Is wood not like stone? It has been a month to these days since I laid my hand on this statue, which is in my hand.
Du bist ein Hohlkopf! Die Arbeit ist (doch) das, was du kennst. Du kannst doch nicht sagen: Ist Holz nicht wie Stein? Ein Monat ist es bis zu diesen Tagen, seit ich meine Hand an diese Statue, die in meiner Hand ist, legte.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by ORAEC (Online Resource for Ancient Egyptian Corpus).
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
