An offering which the king gives and Osiris, Lord of Busiris, foremost of the westerners, [Lord of Abydos in all his places: an invocation offering of a thousand of (loaves of) bread and (jugs of) beer, a thousand of bulls and fowl, a thousand of alabaster vessels and pieces of linen, and a thousand of every good and pure thing for the one dignified] in front of the great god, lord of heaven, the royal chamberlain Henwen, who says: I am one who speaks well and repeats well, who does a thing the right way. I am one who loves good and hates evil, one dignified and beloved, one open-hearted, one with brilliant thoughts, a character [beloved in the house of his lord, ... ... ...]. I was not rebellious, I did not damage the land, that for which people are hated. I spent my entire time on earth following the way of my superiors. I spent the day according to its course, I did not strive after [evil, on account of which men are hated ...] [I spent] a period of many years serving three kings, and there came no (bad) thing therein (oder: von mir), because I was knowledgeable. I followed Horus Wakhankh, 𓍹son of Re Antef𓍺 for a period 〈of〉 many years [... ... ... ... ... ...] all, and there never came any (bad) thing therein. When he then departed to his horizon, to the place where gods are, I served his son, Horus Sankh[-ib-tawy, [𓍹Son of Re Mentuhotep𓍺 ... ... ...] ... ... ...] priest of Nesret and Wadjet in the temple of [... ... ... I followed the righteousness of the living [... ... ...] remember [... ... ... ... ... priests] who lived in [this] temple [before me ... ... ...], because god praised me, as he [...] the provisions [... ... ... ... ... ...] the unique one of the future [... ... ... to] Upper Egypt and to Lower Egypt. It was his character that produced love of him (and) that advanced his place in the royal palace. I am a possessor of love, [... ... ... ... ... ...] in [... ... ...] my possessions on earth being in the hand of my son, my heir, as (he is) the one who will let the memory of me live, for he is a scribe [... ... ... ... ... ...] one with a caring heart on earth - this is (my) reputation (?) with all men who were with (me) in any house in (any) plan that I fulfilled for the god [... ... ... ... ... ...] on [earth] as a pleasant and beloved character, there was no evil that came out of my mouth and there was no evil that my arms had done. I was one who performed his character, one beloved by people [in the course of every day]. His servant Qemi.
