Horus Wah-ankh, King of Upper and Lower Egypt 𓍹Son of Re, Antef𓍺, born of Neferu, beloved by Nekhbet. An offering which the king gives, so that Anubis, the foremost of the god's chapel in [all his places ...] may give all [... to (?) ...] Hetepi, who says: I am one beloved by his lord, praised by the lord of this land. His Majesty has indeed gladdened the heart of this servant. His Majesty said indeed: "There is no one there [who ...] the full extent of my command except Hetepi." This servant carried it (the command) out very well. His Majesty praised this servant for it. Then his officials said: "May this person praise you!" This servant spoke his utterance within the 7 districts of $H̱n-nḫn$ and Abydos in $Ṯꜣ-wr$, when there was no one who spoke his utterance in $Nḫn$, $Wṯz.t-Ḥrw$ and $Tꜣ-ztj$ except for this servant. His Majesty honoured this servant in the campaign to Thinis in dust (?) ...?... A hunger of many years came to pass in this district, and this servant was never lenient therein. The threshing-floor was sere with 220 sheaves. It (the district) never received harvest revenue from anyone in the years of hunger, when grain was missing, (but) it was (there) in the entire district (i.e.: but the entire district had grain nonetheless). I did every good in the temple of the Mistress of All (i.e. Nekhbet), I spent all years 〈as〉 an inspector of those who go down to the temple, and I did what the priests praised. I did not let a man fight with his brothers. But as for every priest, whom I initiated, I initiated (also) his son. I married a woman upon ...?..., actually, I was also one who grew up with the mother of her father and the father of her mother. She gave birth to a family of 12. I made (my) children and their households prosper. Invocation offering [...] Hetepi. This means reaching the status of a revered one with the goddess. His wife, the lady of the house, Khuut.
