It is the chief archivist of Pharaoh's treasury - LHG - Amenemone, who informs the scribe Pentawer: The following: This letter of communication has been brought to you. To the matter: (O) Thoth, transport me to Ashmunein, your city of pleasant living, while you provide me with bread and beer and guard my mouth while speaking! Oh, if only I had Thoth with me in the morning! "Come," they say, when I stand before the lords 〈of truth〉, "so that you may come forth justified!" O great date palm of 60 cubits (height), on which fruits are: As seeds are in the fruits, so is water/juice in the seeds. O you who carry water away 〈from〉 a distant place: Come and save me, the Silent One! Thoth, you glorious well for a man who 〈in〉 the desert thirsts! (He) is closed to the one who has found his mouth. (He) is opened for the Silent One. May the Silent One come, so that he may find the well (or: If the Silent One comes, he finds the well). Oh Hot-mouth, are you caught (???). (Pause sign)

Es ist der Oberarchivar des Schatzhauses Pharaos - LHG -, Amenemone, der dem Schreiber Pentawer mitteilt: Folgendes: Dir ist dieses Mitteilungsschreiben gebracht worden. Zur Sache: (O) Thot, versetze mich nach Aschmunein, deiner Stadt angenehmen Lebens, wobei du mich versorgst mit Brot und Bier und meinen Mund beim Reden bewachst! Ach hätte ich doch Thot um mich am Morgen! "Komm", sagt man, wenn ich vor die Herren 〈der Wahrheit〉 trete, "damit du gerechtfertigt hervorkommst!" O große Dumpalme von 60 Ellen (Höhe), an der Früchte sind: Wie Kerne in den Früchten sind, so ist Wasser/Saft in den Kernen. O der (du) Wasser wegführst 〈von〉 einem fernen Ort: Komm und rette mich, den Verschwiegenen! Thot, du herrlicher Brunnen für einen Mann, der 〈in〉 der Wüste dürstet! (D)er ist verschlossen für den, der seinen Mund gefunden hat. (D)er ist geöffnet für den Schweigsamen. Möge der Schweigsame kommen, damit er den Brunnen finde (oder: Kommt der Schweigsame, findet er den Brunnen). Oh Heiß(maul), bist du gepackt (???). (Pausezeichen)
