#khmun

Come to me Djehuty, O noble Ibis,

O god who loves Khmun;

O letter-writer of the Ennead,

Great one who dwells in Un!

Come to me and give me counsel,

Make me skillful in your calling;

Better is your calling than all callings,

It makes (men) great.

He who masters it is found fit to hold office,

I have seen many whom you have helped;

They are now among the Thirty,

They are strong and rich through your help.

You are he who offers counsel,

I am a servant of your house.

Let me tell you of your valiant deeds,

Wheresoever I may be;

Then the multitudes will say:

“Great are they, the deeds of Djehuty!”

Then they’ll come and bring their children,

To assign them <to> your calling,

A calling that pleases the lord of strength,

Happy is he who performs it!

I drew Khmun from Summoners War as a shiba inu puppy cause I wanted to see it.
