He sent out because of this to the servant, ... and the servant sent ... this trace (?), which the servant [traveled(?)]) [in year 3, month 4 of the Peret season, day 7] at the time of the afternoon. [Then] ... to make his heart rejoice (through a message). [They] reported [to the servant] the following: We have found Nubian women, walking behind 2 donkeys [going (?)] ... It was from these Nubian women ... the fortress 'Strong is Cha-kau-Re, the Justified'. Nubians ... [arrived in year 3, month] of the Peret season, on day 7 at the time of the afternoon, to trade.

It was sailed southward to the place from where they had come, after they had been given bread and beer(rations), as ... in year 3, month 4 of the Peret season, day 8 at the time of the morning. It is a message because of this. All services of the royal house, l.h.g. are safe and sound. All services of the lord, l.h.g. are safe and sound. It is good if the lord, l.h.g. hears (it). Six other Nubians reached the fortress 'Strong is Chau-kau-Re', to trade like this ... [in] month 4 of the Peret season, day 8. What they brought was what one trades. It was sailed southward to the place from where they had come on that day.

Gut ist, wenn der Herr, l.h.g. (es) hört. Sechs andere Nubier erreichten die Festung 'Stark ist Chau-kau-Re', um Handel zu treiben wie diesen ... [im] Monat 4 der Peret-zeit, Tag 8. Das, was sie gebracht hatten, war was man handelt. Es wurde südwärts gesegelt zum Ort, woher sie gekommen waren an diesem Tag.
