[Words speak:] These four [overseers of the royal estate] ⸢stand⸣ for Pepi - [Amset, Hapi, Duamutef, Qebehsenuef], the descendants of Horus of Letopolis - so that [they] bind a rope ladder for Pepi, so that [they secure a ladder] for this Pepi and so that [they allow Pepi to ascend to Chepri], so that this Pepi takes form on [the eastern side of the sky]. Their woods have been worked by $Šsꜣ$/the 'Knowledgeable'(?), [the ropes that are on it are secured with(?) the sinews] of $Gꜣs.wtj$, [the bull of] heaven [that the rungs are secured on their sides with the leather of Imiut, born by Hesat], [the Great Support has been placed under them] by the 'He who catches the Great with the lasso'. Behold, the Ka of this Pepi {Pepi} will be elevated to the god / Raise the Ka of this Pepi {Pepi} to the god, [...] so that he [allows this] Pepi to ascend to Atum, so that he causes him to live. Atum ⸢has done⸣ what he said, [that he would do for him], (namely) that he would bind [a rope ladder for this Pepi and that he would secure a ladder] for this Pepi. This Pepi will keep away from the abomination of men; ⸢his⸣ arms [will not reach to the abomination of the gods]. [He does not eat the $ḏꜣs$-plant]; he does not chew $bḏꜣ$ [on the first of the month]. [He] does not sleep [at night, he] does not wake, without knowing [one of the two times of Chepri]. ⸢Those in⸣ the Duat have 'counted their body'/have come to themselves(?) and [have opened their ears at the sound of this Pepi, as he descended among them]. The 'He whose power is great' [has told them] that this Pepi is one of them. [This Pepi Neferkare is] regarded among them [as 'Very Respected', brought to the west]. [Great is] your ⸢dignity⸣, Pepi, in the good of Ruti. [...] before Chenti-irti in ⸢Letopolis⸣.

[Worte sprechen:] Diese vier [Verwalter des Königsvermögens] ⸢stehen⸣ für Pepi auf - [Amset, Hapi, Duamutef, Qebehsenuef], die Nachkommenschaft des Horus von Letopolis -, damit [sie] für Pepi eine Strickleiter binden, damit [sie für diesen] Pepi [eine Leiter] festmachen und damit [sie Pepi zu Chepri emporsteigen lassen], damit dieser Pepi auf [der östlichen Seite des Himmels] Gestalt annimmt. Ihre Hölzer sind von $Šsꜣ$/dem 'Kundigen'(?) bearbeitet worden, [die Stricke, die an ihr sind, sind mit(?) den Sehnen] des $Gꜣs.wtj$, [des Stiers des] Himmels [festgemacht worden], die Sprossen sind an ihren Seiten mit dem Leder [des Imiut], den Hesat geboren hat, befestigt worden, [die Große Stütze ist unter sie plaziert worden] von dem 'Der die Große mit dem Lasso fängt'. Siehe, der Ka dieses Pepi {Pepi} wird zu dem Gott erhoben werden / Erhebt den Ka dieses Pepi {Pepi} zum Gott, [...] damit er [diesen] Pepi zu Atum emorsteigen läßt, damit er veranlaßt, daß er lebt. Atum ⸢hat getan⸣, was er gesagt hatte, [daß er für ihn tue], (nämlich) daß er für diesen Pepi [eine Strickleiter binde und daß er eine Leiter] für diesen Pepi [festmache]. Dieser Pepi wird sich fernhalten von dem Abscheu der Menschen; ⸢seine⸣ Arme [werden nicht an den Abscheu der Götter (reichen)]. [Er ißt nicht die $ḏꜣs$-Pflanze]; er kaut nicht $bḏꜣ$ [am Ersten des Monats]. [Er] schläft nicht [in der Nacht, er] wacht nicht, ohne sich zu kennen zu [einer der beiden Zeiten des Chepri]. ⸢Die in⸣ der Duat haben 'ihren Leib [gezählt]'/sind zu sich gekommen(?) und [haben ihre Ohren geöffnet bei dem Geräusch dieses Pepi, als er unter sie hinabstieg]. Der 'Dessen Kraft groß ist' [hat ihnen gesagt], daß dieser Pepi einer von ihnen sei. [Dieser Pepi Neferkare ist] unter ihnen [angesehen als 'Sehr Angesehener', gebracht zum Westen]. [Groß ist] deine ⸢Würde⸣, Pepi, im Gut des Ruti. [...] vor Chenti-irti in ⸢Letopolis⸣.
