[Hereditary noble and local prince,]
royal seal-bearer, the sole friend (of the king),
chief lector priest,
governor in the house of Montu,
count of the fi[rst] primaeval time,
[who knows] the monthly festival, one clear of voice,
who knows the forms (??) [...],
[who knows the food offerings of the temple]s, (...), experienced in the time when one carries (offerings) for them,
one who abominates their abomination for them,
who knows what their heart receives, each god according to his needs,
who knows his (i.e. the god) offering bread,
who knows the d[emons of the mounds and the farmland, as well as] all their [affairs], (...), one for whom the content of the (afterlife) spell-book is opened,
one who knows the morning house, one apt at its doors: it was placed in the heart, but it did not leave from upon the lips. I was, however, one who covered the affairs of [...,
..., one with]out his like,
one sharp of senses, who equipped his service, (...), the like of Ptah in perfecting his heart,
one who gives instructions to the overseers of every craft,
overlord who opens the mystery (?) in every craft,
one who requests and it happens, (...), one like [Thoth (?)], who loosens (?) [what is knotted (?), ..., one like] Hu on all his places, (...), one to whom the two (?) fields come: the food offerings come, the catch of the magazine go along, the/all fish and fowl catch are behind him; lord of pure offerings like the fl[ood (?) ... ... ...] (...), one about whose condition the great ones - for whom one bows in the land of Horus of the Two Lands - ask, touching the ground with their foreheads for him, (...), one who enters the palace, while the great ones are behind [him, ... ... ... put on] their bellies, until he reaches the place where 〈His〉 Majesty is; the king himself jubilates over him,
the (military) courtiers dress festively when he approaches:
Antef, [born of Myt,]
[ex]cellent and justified, who says: I was indeed a confidant of His Majesty,
his unique servant like a limb of his,
whom the she-falcon of his nest bore,
a character without equal,
one great of respect, [... ... ...], ...], one foremost of this land,
foremost of speech, wise of counsel,
who makes perfect the tongue like (that of) the god himself,
one who judges an affair according to what [... ... ...], ..., without being] partial,
one who makes his judgment (?) according to its essence,
without opening the [heart] (?) with that which is in it:
hereditary noble, royal seal-bearer, the s[ole friend (of the king) Antef, b]orn of Myt, excellent and justified, who says: [I have] built this [tomb] in my lifetime, I set up its columns [... ... ...], its [...] being of the stone of $jꜥ.t$, the corresponding floor is of limestone, the corresponding door-jambs are of acacia wood, [... ... ...] ...] from (?) (the boat) "Belonging to Montu", bread and beer in great quantity like the catch (?) of Montu, with 15 craftsmen on it, at its stern (?) [... ... ...] [...$ḥꜣ,tj$]-clothes, $wꜥb$-clothes, the entire ship's crew, [...], royal linen, corn, $ḥmꜥ$-plants, so that [...] may be satified [...].
