Words speak: (O you,) who traverses the lake, bring me (?), (O you,) who traverses the lake, bring me (?)! (or: Traverse the lake, Messenger, traverse the lake, Messenger!) If it is a greylag goose, bring it. If it is a pintail, bring it. If it is a longhorned cattle, bring it. You shall fly like a cloud, like a heron, and rise/ flutter like the 'Father of the Children' heron. Nemti-em-za-ef Merenre, you will thus go to these your fathers, who are at the head of the $pḏ.w$. Your bread, which cannot mold, is brought to you, and your beer, which cannot spoil. You shall eat this your sole bread alone. You do not need to give it to anyone who comes after you, after you have taken it from the $knm.t$-bird.
Worte sprechen: (O du,) der den See durchfährt, hol mich (?), (o du,) der den See durchfährt, hol mich (?)! (oder: Durchfahre den See, Bote, durchfahre den See, Bote!) Ist es eine Graugans, hol sie. Ist es eine Spießente, hol sie. Ist es ein Langhornrind, hol es. Du sollst wolkengleich fliegen wie ein Reiher und auffliegen/flattern wie der 'Vater der Kinder'-Reiher. Nemti-em-za-ef Merenre, du wirst also zu diesen deinen Vätern gehen, die an der Spitze des $pḏ.w$ sind. Gebracht ist dir dein Brot, das nicht verschimmeln kann, und dein Bier, das nicht schlecht werden kann. Du sollst dieses dein alleiniges Brot allein essen. Du kannst/brauchst es nicht einem, der nach dir kommt, zu geben, nachdem du es dem $knm.t$-Vogel weggenommen hast.

About this record's data

- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
