What work did Egyptian servants do?
A servant woman describes how she and the other servants do all the work for the nobles. These nobles always want the best provisions for their parties. The job she hates the most is cleaning their houses. She hopes to be buried with her own shabti so that she doesn't have to work in the afterlife.
