The scribe of the armory of Pharaoh LHG, Mahu, speaks to the scribe Pawehem as follows: This letter of communication has been brought to you for the following reason: You should please dedicate your attention with [utmost] perfection and as firmly [as] copper/bronze to the execution of every task that has been imposed upon you. And furthermore: You should please dedicate your attention with utmost perfection and as firmly as copper/bronze to ensure that the tasks for the repetition of the Sed festival (i.e., for the 2nd Sed festival) are carried out, and to ensure that the chariots for the repetition of the Sed festival are built. As soon as they (the chariots) are finished, you should ensure that I can reach (the city) Piramesse, the great Ka of Re-Harachte. And you should please keep an eye on everything that your colleagues are doing. And you should really do it! Do not sit idly (i.e., coolly) around while the Sed festival has already come to you! And dedicate your attention to the [...] of the festival offering of Re-Harachte with utmost perfection and as firmly as copper/bronze! (And) carry out every command that concerns you! Do not give cause for anyone to have to come to argue with you! You are as great as the (other) people (i.e., you are like the greatness of people). (Therefore:) all that they will do: do (it) yourself! You should please take note of this. End.

Der Schreiber der Waffenschmiede Pharaohs LHG, Mahu, spricht zum Schreiber Pawehem folgendes: Dieses Mitteilungsschreiben ist dir aus folgendem Grund gebracht worden: Du sollst bitte deine Aufmerksamkeit mit [äußerster] Perfektion und fest [wie] Kupfer/Bronze der Ausführung jedes Auftrags widmen, der dir auferlegt worden ist. Und weiter: Du sollst bitte deine Aufmerksamkeit mit äußerster Perfektion und fest wie Kupfer/Bronze darauf verwenden, (einerseits) zu veranlassen, daß die Aufträge für die Wiederholung des Sedfestes (d.h. für das 2. Sedfest) ausgeführt werden, und (andererseits) zu veranlassen, daß die Streitwagen für die Wiederholung des Sedfestes gebaut werden. Sobald sie (die Streitwagen) fertig sind, sollst du dafür sorgen, daß ich (die Stadt) Piramesse, den großen Ka von Re-Harachte, erreichen kann. Und du sollst bitte ein Auge auf Alles halten, (was) deine Kollegen machen. Und du sollst es bitte (wirklich) tun! Sitz nicht unbeteiligt (wörtl.: kühl) herum, während das Sedfest (schon) zu euch gekommen ist! Und widme deine Aufmerksamkeit den [...] des Festopfers des Re-Harachte mit äußerster Perfektion und fest wie Kupfer/Bronze! (Und) führe jeden Befehl, der dich betrifft, aus! Gib keinen Anlaß, daß man kommen muß, um mit dir zu streiten! Du bist ebenso großartig, wie die (übrigen) Menschen (wörtl.: du bist wie die Größe der Menschen). (Deshalb:) all das, was sie machen werden: mach (du) es (selbst)! Du sollst das bitte zur Kenntnis nehmen. Ende.
