The dignified accompanying seal-bearer Ameny says: "I was a leader of works, one watchful of that which was ordered to him, master of counsel, one strong of leadership (?), one sharp-witted among his equals. The overseer of works appointed me as a leader of that which is and that which is not, because I was more beneficient and more excellent in his heart than any hall-keeper who was with him. I directed work in the temples of the gods of Upper and Lower Egypt. I was a possessor of charm, one sweet of love. The dignified one, leader of works, accompanying seal-bearer, Ameny says: O all people who shall pass by this tomb-chapel faring downstream or upstream, as Khontamenti, Lord of Abydos, loves and praises you, may you say: "A thousand of all good things for the dignified accompanying seal-bearer Ameny, justified. Bread: a thousand, beer: a thousand; incense; required offerings. His brother, Sahedjhetep. An offerings which the king gives: A thousand of bread and beer, oxen and fowl, alabaster and linen and all things for the dignified one, his father Djau the Younger (?). Incense; required offerings. His brother Remenyhetep, conceived of Sattekh, justified.
