- 1907, Kabe, chapter 5, in La Faraono, part 2, Hachette, translation of Faraon by Bolesław Prus:
- Jam en la templo de Hator tia insistado ŝajnis al li suspektinda: la milito ja povis liveri al la ŝtato centojn da miloj da sklavoj kaj pligrandigi la bonstaton de la lando.
- Already when in the temple of Hathor, such insistence seemed suspect to him: war could indeed provide the state with hundreds of thousands of slaves and increase the prosperity of the country.
