Memorandum of the god-father of Onuris and scribe Bak-en-Chonsu, which is intended for the god-father and scribe of the temple of (God) 'the one of the camp' Hor-em-Ach-bit. Bak-en-Hori, this servant of Anchef, the friend who belongs to you, he has fled. He is in the midst of the mountain range (where El-Hibeh is located), your city. Now, however, I have sent him and made him come to you, to take care of him, for it was said to me that he is in the house of Aay, the washer. Arrange for the messenger who belongs to you to hurry and take care of him. Let him be arrested and brought before you and send him to Anchef, this friend who belongs to you. If you should not find him, then you shall look for the people about whom Anchef has said to you: 'Let them swear' and you shall bring them to the courtyard of their god and they shall swear because/before him (literally: commit themselves under oath to him).
Memorandum des Gottesvaters des Onuris und Schreibers Bak-en-Chonsu, das an den Gottesvater und Schreiber des Tempels vom (Gott) 'der des Lagers' Hor-em-Ach-bit (bestimmt) ist. Bak-en-Hori, dieser Diener des Anchef, der Freund, der zu dir gehört, er ist geflohen. Er ist inmitten des Vorgebirges (wo El-Hibeh liegt), deiner Stadt. Nun aber habe ich ihn ausgesendet und ihn zu dir kommen lassen, um auf ihn Acht zu geben, denn man sagte mir, daß er (im) Haus des Aay, des Wäschers sei. Veranlasse, daß der Bote eilt, der zu dir gehört, und auf ihn Acht gibt. Laß ihn verhaften und dir vorführen und übersende ihn an Anchef, diesem Freund, der zu dir gehört. Wenn du ihn nicht finden solltest, dann sollst du nach den Leuten sehen, über die Anchef zu dir gesagt hat: 'Laß sie schwören' und du sollst sie zu dem Vorhof ihres Gottes bringen und sie sollen wegen/vor ihm schwören (wörtl.: sich eidesstattlich festlegen auf ihn).
