Inscriptions" Dedicated to Osiris first of the West, King's scribe Hor-Kheb, son of Kha-Em-Khens, born of Nefer-Neith. He says; O Shabti! If one calls to me to do any work that is done in the necropolis, to cultivate fields, to water banks, to transport sand from East to West: If I am selected for this on any day of calling a man to do his duty, "Here I am", you shall say, when my name is called.
