An offering which the king gives and Osiris, Lord of Busiris, Great God, Lord of Abydos in all his beautiful and pure places:
an invocation offering of a thousand (loaves of) bread and (jugs of) beer, a thousand of every good and pure thing for the dignified son of Ka, Antef, who says: I functioned as a hunter for my lord, Horus Wah-ankh, son of Re Antef the Great,
for my lord Horus Nakht-neb-tep-nefer son of Re Antef,
(and) for my lord, Horus Sankh-ib-tawy, son of Re Mentuhotep. I functioned as a hunter for the West, for the East, (and) for the temples. I was a hunter for the administration of provisions (?). I was a hunter for the Qenbet-council. I ferried the boatless across, I gave water to the thirsty. I was indeed one beloved of his lord, one beneficient for his city and knowledgeable for the house of his lord. I gave $ḫmw$-corn upon the desert, I let $ḥmꜥ$-plants (?) spend the night upon the juice (?) of date seeds. I was one who slaughtered the bull at his watering places through the love (?) of my lords. I was a strong man, one who knew more than the wise about the things of the living and about the things of the dead, when there is none who knows what will happen today. I did not let any strife arise against me. I did not seize a thing of a man. I have done this for the entire Theban nome, in the love of my lords. Year 14: the setting up of this stela - the year when Thinis rebelled. Der Ehrwürdige und Gerechtfetigte, Antef. His beloved wife Mery(t). His beloved wife Iutu. His beloved wife Iru.
