Fig. 4. Above: The scrap of papyrus from which Joseph Smith "translated" all 1,125 words of The Book of Abraham and also managed to have enough left over to fill in the blanks in Facsimile 2. Arrow points to backward "E" determinative signifying water. In Smith's Egyptian Alphabet and Grammar, this character is made the source of seventy-six words of English "scripture!"
