I'm away from home until this weekend-internet is slow/spotty-so I will pick up PL duties later this week.

Thanks,
Lora
That's fine, Lora. Thanks for letting us know.

Hello, Kerry, and welcome to the project! Unfortunately, another reader had claimed section 21 less than 3 hours before you, and I hadn't had the chance to update the window yet. But section 22 is still open, so I will go ahead and assign that one to you, ok? Thank you!

Hi Leni,

Just a point of information and seeking clarification. When I used the link provided in the magic window for section 22 - The Stela of Piankhy, it takes me to a whole series of footnotes. The page I open to commences with footnote 103, which is linked to text much further above, and is consistent with what I believe is Section 22, which contains footnotes 103-170. When I scroll down from these footnotes to the next readable text, I find the following title: JOSEPH VON EICHENDORFF (1788-1857). When I scroll up from the footnotes, I come to text that appears to be Egyptian poetry or funerary texts.

I previously found what I believe is Section 22, while previewing Section 21 the Story of Setna, and then scrolling down from there to The Stela of Piankhy. That is the section I have copied for my narration editing. I believe it begins on the middle of Pg 5274 through Pg 5290, ending above a section entitled EGYPTIAN FUNERAL FEAST. My pre-edit word count of the selected text is 5,635.

However, as I read through the footnotes, I find that the translator, the esteemed Egyptologist, F. Ll. Griffith, made considerable commentary and clarifying notes that add immensely to understanding and appreciating the text. Since I am new to this project, should I include these notes in my reading? I'm happy to do so, and at this point believe that they can be incorporated without being overly distracting and quite rewarding to the listener. If I do include these illuminating footnotes the pre-edited word count is 6,900.

I do seek your guidance on this.

Kind regards,
Kerry Adams

Hello, Kerry, and thanks for asking. The link was a mistake on my part - even though I can see why I made that mistake, considering Gutenberg set no link to the real beginning of the text, which, as you rightly point out, is on page 5274. So, you got the text right.

As to the footnotes: the general guidance I follow regarding them is - if they would be useful to the listener, yes, please, read them! I did consider them, which is why my wordcount is similar to the one you have for the whole thing with footnotes (but please do not read the image caption). So, any footnotes which seem to you to be useful for the listener should be included. Any footnotes not as useful, as, for example, if there are any which just give a bibliographical reference, then, they can be safely skipped. Usually the footnote is read with a different inflection of the voice or, if you prefer, you denote them by saying [footnote] then reading the text then adding [end of footnote]. Provided it is clear for the reader, that is fine. :)

Thank you so much for your response, it gives me clear direction on how to tackle this reading selection.
Take care and be of good cheer.
