Res Gestae

The Sun speaks to King Ramestes. I have granted to thee that thou shouldst with joy rule over the whole earth, thou

whom the Sun loveth—and powerful Apollo, lover of truth, son of Heron, god-born, creator of the world, whom the Sun hath chosen, the doughty son of Mars, King Ramestes. Unto him the whole earth is made subject through his valour and boldness. King Ramestes, eternal child of the Sun. SECOND LINE.
