[Sa]id b〈y〉 the wab-priest who is allowed to enter, Sa[mo]n[tu]: I was a wab-priest of the Lord of Hermonthis, a libationer of the King of the gods, who entered at the gate of the one enduring of years, who freshened/broke the seal in the sanctuary, who purified the interior of the [chapel], who removed the dirt by the work of his hands, who gave counsel to the "chamberlain"-priests, his hand filled with pure [...], one broad of steps in the temple, one [pure] of hands in performing rituals, strong of voice, one who cleaned the offering jugs of Montu, lord of Thebes, one who endowed the altars of his ennead, who brought offerings to the ones who are in his procession, the wab-priest Samontu, son of Neni, who says: I acted as a wab-priest and a libation priest of Montu-Horus of Thebes, I followed him to the gate (?) of his festivals, I carried the beauty of his barge, I loaded the barge on the troup of funerary priests (?). It is my son who created (?) for [me] my ste[la] (?). I did what was praised in et-Tod: It was his excellent place which he loved. I was in Medamud, performing rituals [... ... ...]. I circumambulated(?) his every palace, doing what his ka praised. I made myself familiar with [it], while I was still a foster-child whose deeds the officials praised. The initiated wab-priest Samontu, conceived of Ineni, justified, lord of dignity. His son, the wab-priest Qemauni. His wife, the mistress of the house Itankh.
