-Notes concerning the admission of “chiefs” to the “king’s tent to do homage to him” and reflection that “PianXi’s account of this invasion is very remarkable”, treating rebels with “utmost consideration”, “to avoid bloodshed whenever possible.” As well as that “PiankXi was no doubt of Egyptian origin &worshipped Egyptian gods & the account of this treatment of the country is very different from those by which the Pharaoh’s loved to describe their warlike deeds in foreign lands” (continues on page 61).
