11. And when he says, “This is thy realm; a supporter and sustainer art thou for the friend: for sustenance, for rain, for the lordship of creatures—thee!” this is to say, “This is thy kingdom; thou art consecrated (anointed)! thou art thy friend’s supporter and sustainer: for our sustenance art thou, for rain unto us art thou, for our lordship of creatures art thou!” They thereby entreat him, “For all this art thou unto us: for all this have we consecrated thee!” And therefore people thus entreat a human king who has been consecrated.
