His text thus reads like a text of the 6th Dynasty when Ma’at was a category of central reference and the discourse on virtue was rooted in and revolved around this fundamental moral category. The text reads: … “The prince and count, truly an intimate of the King whom he loves, Ibi, the justified; He says: you who live on earth. Those who exist and will come after. I will recount to you my good deeds which I have done on earth For I know it is useful … . I did what people love and the divine ones praise. I am here having come to the city of eternity, for I did good on earth…I spoke truth and did justice which God loves. I judged justly between the weak and the strong. I did not allow one greater to take from one more humble than he was…I was generous to everyone, a helper to the fatherless. I nourished the hungry when he came to the prime minister as a petitioner I satisfied the need of a man (even) as a child so it would not happen that he tread upon the place of the widow and reject her need. I turned my face toward the timid when his case came to be heard and his tongue appeared with an effective word. I rejected no one with a petition.”

Ma’at, the Moral ideal in Ancient Egypt

And here again we see the ancients’ emphasis on caring for the weak/vulnerable; on equal treatment for all; and on justice.
