And his Majesty said unto them, “Ye behold the City of the Horizon of Aton, which the Aton has desired me to make for him as a monument in the great name of my Majesty for ever. For it was the Aton, my father, that brought me to this City of the Horizon. There was not a noble who directed me to it; there was not any man in the whole land who led me to it, saying, ‘It is fitting for his Majesty that he make a City of the Horizon of Aton in this place.’ Nay, but it was the Aton, my father, that directed me to it to make it for him.... Behold the Pharaoh found that [this site] belonged not to a god, nor to a goddess, it belonged not to a prince, nor to a princess. There was no right for any man to act as owner of it.” ...
[... And they answered and said] “Lo! it is Aton that putteth [the thought] in thy heart regarding any place that he desires. He doth not uplift the name of any King except thy Majesty; he doth not [exalt] any other except [thee.] ... Thou drawest unto Aton every land, thou adornest for him the towns which he had made for his own self, all lands, all countries, the Hanebu[39] with their products and their tribute upon their backs for him that made their life, and by whose rays one lives and breathes the air. May he grant eternity in seeing his rays.... Verily, the City of the Horizon will thrive like Aton in heaven for ever and ever.”
Then his Majesty lifted his hand to heaven unto Him that formed him, saying, “As my father Ra-Horakhti Aton liveth, the great and living Aton, ordaining life, vigorous in life, my father, my rampart of a million cubits, my remembrancer of eternity, my witness of that which pertains to eternity, who formeth himself with his own hands, whom no artificer hath known, who is established in rising and in setting each day without ceasing. Whether he is in heaven or in earth,[40] every eye seeth him without [failing,] while he fills the land with his beams and makes every face to live. With seeing whom may my eyes be satisfied daily, when he rises in this temple of Aton in the City of the Horizon, and fills it with his own self by his beams, beauteous in love, and lays them upon me in life and length of days for ever and ever.
