To Give her to self as a Man
And the Son of Great House ("Pharaoh"), the Firstborn, heard concerning herself and he persuaded the Father of himself that she, herself might be given to self into a man.
"..written for men, by men, about a man!"

And he said to self: Give to myself the Storehouse, the Daughter of Five Senses, the Priest of City of the Sun into a woman.
And the Father of Himself said to himself: Why are you seeking a woman inferior to yourself? Are you, yourself not a king of every inhabited one?
No, but behold! the Daughter of the King, she has been pledged to yourself, and she is a queen, an exceedingly beautiful one! And take hold to your own self this one into a woman!

Ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ ἔτει τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν τῆς εὐθηνίας ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ πέμπτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς· ἐξαπέστειλε Φαραὼ τὸν Ἰωσὴφ κυκλεῦσαι πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν Αἰγύπτου.

Καὶ ἦλθεν Ἰωσὴφ τῷ τετάρτῳ μηνὶ τοῦ πρώτου ἔτους ὀγδόῃ καὶ δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς εἰς τὰ ὅρια Ἡλιουπόλεως.

Καὶ ἦν συνάγων τὸν σῖτον τῆς χώρας ἐκείνης ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τῆς θαλάσσης.

Ἦν δὲ ἀνήρ ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ σατράπης τοῦ Φαραώ· καὶ οὗτος ἦν ἄρχων πάντων τῶν σατραπῶν καὶ τῶν μεγιστάνων τοῦ Φαραώ.

Καὶ ἦν ὁ ἀνήρ οὗτος πλούσιος σφόδρα καὶ φρόνιμος καὶ ἐπιεικής, καὶ ἦν σύμβουλος τοῦ Φαραώ, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Πεντεφρῆς, καὶ ἦν ἱερεὺς Ἡλιουπόλεως.

Καὶ ἦν θυγάτηρ τῷ Πετεφρῇ ὡς ἐτῶν ὀκτωκαίδεκα παρθένος μεγάλη καὶ ὡραία καὶ εὐπρεπὴς τῷ κάλλει σφόδρα ὑπὲρ πᾶσαν παρθένον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.

Καὶ αὕτη οὐδὲν εἶχεν ὅμοιον τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Αἰγυπτίων, ἀλλ᾽ ἦν κατὰ πάντα ὁμοία ταῖς θυγατράσι τῶν Ἑβραίων.

Καὶ ἦν μεγάλη ὡς Σάρρα καὶ ὡραία ὡς Ῥεβέκκα καὶ καλή ὡς Ῥαχήλ· καὶ ἦν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς παρθένου ἐκείνης Ἀσενέθ.

Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἡ φήμη τοῦ κάλλους αὐτῆς εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην καὶ ἕως πέρατον αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐμνηστεύοντο αὐτὴν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν μεγιστάνων καὶ τῶν σατραπῶν καὶ τῶν βασιλέων, νεανίσκοι πάντες.

Καὶ ἦν ἔρις πολλὴ ἐν αὐτοῖς δι᾽ αὐτήν, καὶ ἐπειρῶντο πολεμεῖν πρὸς ἀλλήλους διὰ Ἀσενέθ.

Καὶ ἤκουσεν περὶ αὐτῆς ὁ υἱὸς Φαραὼ ὁ πρωτότοκος, καὶ ἐπείσθη τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ ἵνα δοθῇ αὐτῷ αὐτὴ εἰς ἄνδρα.

Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτῷ· Δός μοι τὴν Ἀσενέθ τὴν θυγατέρα Πεντεφρῆ τοῦ ἱερέως Ἡλιουπόλεως εἰς γυναῖκα.

Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ Φαραώ· ἵνα τί σὺ ζητεῖς γυναῖκα χεῖρόν σου; οὐκ εἶ σὺ βασιλεὺς πάσης οἰκουμένης;

οὐχί, ἀλλ᾽ ἰδοὺ ἡ θυγάτηρ τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰωακὶμ κατηγγύηταί σοι καὶ βασίλισσά ἐστι καλὴ σφόδρα καὶ ταύτην λαβὲ σεαυτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα.
