The text tells the story of a famine occurred in the reign of King Djoser "as a result of low Nile for
seven years, crowd narrow King, asked the priest to explore it, the sudden nature of the reply
that the village of" father "and" (capital I) is preventing the flow of Nile water.
And tell the story that the "dream" saw Zoser machine "Khnum" (God of the region) and was
mentioned in his power and control of the Nile water. When I wake up the King believed that
"Khnum" is the Sultan on the headwaters of the Nile, and to conciliate him, stop him vast tracts

Apparently this story (written in Ptolemaic) imagine fear of priests "Khnum" influence of goddess
ISIS who is increasing, they wanted this story to get sympathy of the Ptolemaic Kings, and to
prove the keenness of the Kings since the oldest times (since the reign of Djoser) on their Idol
