A royal order for the hereditary noble and local prince, royal seal-bearer and sole friend (of the king), overseer of the two houses of gold, overseer of the two houses of silver, overseer of the treasury, Ichernofret, possessor of dignity: "My Majesty commanded that you be caused to sail upstream to Abydos in the Thinite nome, in order to build a monument for (my) father Osiris Khentamenti, (and) in order to adorn [his] secret cul[tic image] with electrum, which he caused My Majesty to bring back from Nubia, in victory and triumph. You will indeed do it in a truly excellent way of doing things, namely: satisfying(?) (my) father Osiris, because My Majesty sends you trusting that you will do everything to please the heart of My Majesty, (and) because it is as a pupil of My Majesty that you were brought (i.e. entrusted with the task). You have indeed grown up as a foster-child of my Majesty, the sole pupil of my palace. My Majesty appointed you as a courtier when you were (still) a youngling of 26 years. My Majesty did this because I saw that you were one excellent of plans and sharp of tongue, one who came out of the womb as one knowledgeable. My Majesty sent you in order to do this, because My Majesty knew that there was no one who would do it all except you. Go, you, and return after you will have acted according to everything that my Majesty had ordered!" I acted according to everything that his Majesty ordered, by executing perfectly all that the Lord commanded for his father Osiris Khentamenti, Lord of Abydos, great power in the Thinite nome. I acted as "his beloved son" to Osiris Khentamenti, I made firm [his] great [image (?)] of all eternity. I made for him a palanquin "Wetjes-neferu-Khontamenti" of gold and silver, lapis lazuli and amethyst (?), tamarisk (?) and Lebanese cedar; (the images of) the gods who are in his following were set up, and their naoi were made anew. I gave the priests of the temple [instructions] to do their tasks, and let them know the ritual of each day and the seasonal festivals. I led the works in the neshmet barque. I set up a cabin. I adorned the breast of the Lord of Abydos with lapis lazuli and turquoise, electrum and every precious stone as embellishment of the body of the god. I clothed the god in his regalia in my office of guardian of secrets and in my function as stolist. I was one with a clean hand in adorning the god, a sem priest clean of fingers. I organised the procession of Wepwawet, when he set out to assist his father, I repelled the attackers of the Neshemet barque, I crushed the enemies of Osiris. I organised a great procession and followed the god on his course. I caused the divine boat to sail, Thoth stearing the sailing, I equipped the barque Kha-em-maat of the Lord of Abydos with a cabin, and affixed his beautiful regalia, so that he might proceed to the district (?) of Peqer. I cleared the roads of the god to his tomb at the fore of Peqer. I avenged Wenennefer on that day of the great fight, I crushed all his enemies on the sandban[ks] of Nedyt, I caused that he entred the great barque, and it carried his beauty. I gladdened the hearts of the Eastern deserts, I [caused jubi]lation in the western deserts, when they saw the beauty of the Neshmet barque as it landed at Abydos, bringing Osiris Khentiamentiu, Lord of Abydos, to his palace. I followed the god to his house. He was cleansed, his place was enlarged. I loosened the knot (?) in [... and he came to rest among] his [follow]ers, his retinue. Natron. [...] [... ...] His beloved brother, deputy overseer of the treasury, Ameny, possessor of dignity. Assistant of the overseer of treasury, Minhotep. His beloved brother, the king's acquaintance, Sasatet, possessor of dignity. His beloved son, Iykhernefret. His beloved son, Sasatet.
