An offering which the king gives so that Osiris, lord of [Abydos] may give [an invocation offering of bread and beer,] bulls and birds, alabaster and linen, incense and oil and every good and pure thing to the ka of the hereditary noble and local prince who says what is good and repeats what is beloved in the course of every day, the chief officer of the city $Ḫw-Sbk$, whose good name is $Ḏꜣꜣ$, begotten by $Jtʾ$. Der Verwalter ...?..., Herr{in}(?) von Ehrwürdigkeit. Seine geliebte Tochter, Gebu, geboren von [...]. Sein Bruder Dedu, geboren von Meritites. Der Protokollmeister [...], geboren von Zemit(?). Die Amme seines Herzens (d.h. seine bevorzugte Amme) Renef-anch, geboren von [...]. Jubu, geboren von Meritites. Nebet-iunet, geboren von Jubu. His Majesty proceeded (lit. The proceeding by His Majesty) northward to smite the Asiatics. His majesty reached (lit. the reaching by His Majesty of) the land called Sekemem. His Majesty made (lit. the making by His Majesty of) a good start in setting out for the Residence in LPH, and then Sekemem fell, together with wretched Retjenu, while I was acting as a rear-guard of the army, and the soldiers of the army united to fight with the Asiatics, and I struck the Asiatic; I had his weapons taken by two soldiers without me stopping fighting, my face turned against (the enemy), without me turning my back to the Asiatic - As Senwosret lives, I have spoken the truth - and he gave me a staff of electrum for my hand and a sheath together with a dagger adorned with electrum and [...]. Hereditary noble and local prince, firm of soles and quiet of steps, loyal to the one who established him, whose renown the Lord of the Two Lands gave, whose love advanced his position, the great officer of the city $Ḏꜣꜣ$ says: I made for myself this tomb-chapel, it being beautified and its place being made excellent at the Terrace of the Great God, lord of life, foremost of Abydos, in the district "Mistress of Offerings" and in the district "Mistress of Life", so that I might smell the incense that comes forth, and so that I might be [provided] with god's fragrance. The chief officer of the city $Ḏꜣꜣ$ says: I was born [in year] 27 under the Majesty of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt 𓍹$Nbw-kꜣ.w-Rꜥ$𓍺, justified. The Majesty of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt 𓍹$Ḫꜥ-kꜣ.w-Rꜥ$𓍺, justified, ascended (lit. ascending by the Majesty of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt $Ḫꜥ-kꜣ.w-Rꜥ$, justified) as king of Upper and Lower Egypt on the throne of Horus of the living. His Majesty caused (lit. The causing by His Majesty) that I do the work of fighting behind and at the side of His Majesty together with 7 men of the Residence, and I was efficient at his side. His Majesty caused (lit. The causing by his majesty) that I was appointed follower of the ruler, and I was given 60 men. His Majesty sailed (lit. The sailing by His majesty) [southward] in order to overthrow the Nubians, and I struck the Nubian [at Kenkef] at the side of (the troops of) my city, then I sailed north in the following, with 6 (men) of the Residence, and he appointed 〈me〉 as supervisor of the courtiers. I was given 100 men in reward.
