(Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten
23 Mind your manners
| 1 | Eat no bread in the presence of an official, |
| 2 | and then set your mouth before him. |
| 3 | If You are sated, pretend to chew, |
| 4 | content yourself with your saliva. |
| 5 | Look at the bowl that is before You, |
| 6 | and let it serve your needs. |
| 7 | An official is great in his office, |
| 8 | as a well is rich in drawings of water. |
