An offering that the king gives so that Osiris, Lord of Busiris, lord of Abydos, may give an invocation offering (of) bread, beer, oxen and birds, alabaster, linen, incense and merehet-oil, at the wag-festival, at Thoth's festival, at the procession of Min (?) and (the procession) of Sothis, at the burnt-offerings festival. O you living, who are upon earth, 〈who shall pass〉 by this tomb 〈in〉 the necropolis, going downstream and going the opposite way, may you say: "(It) is pure! A thousand of bread, a thousand (of) beer, a thousand (of) oxen, birds, oryx and gazelles and all things from which the god lives to the ka of the assistant seal-bearer, Sahathor, justified." One dignified before Anubis, Meryeset, conceived of Hetepy. One truly beloved of his lord, his trusted one, who spoke well and repeated that which is beloved, who did what the Lord of the Two lands praised, who reports his actions without forgetting, one self-controlled, free of forgetfulness, one who protects his boundary and watches his possessions, one vigilant, free of lenience. The assistant seal-bearer, Sahathor, justified. One dignified before Upuaut. I went on a mining expedition in my youth, and I forced (lit. suppressed) the chieftains to wash gold. I brought turquoise, I reached Nubia, and the Nehesi-Nubians came bowing down for fear of the Lord of the Two lands. I traversed Hau, I went around its lands, bringing $zš$-plants(?).
