An offering which the king gives (and) Osiris, Lord of Busiris, the great god, Lord of Abydos: May he give an invocation offering (of) bread, beer, bulls, fowl, alabaster, linen, and all good and pure things of which the god lives to the ka of the dignified Ky, a true acquaintance of the king, his beloved, who does what the king praises in the course of every day. I came out of my city, I descendend from my nome. I was one who said what was good and reported what was wanted, leader of the king's acquaintances. I did not defame a man to his superior, I did not order beating from (?) my (?) man. One dignified in front of the great god, the herald Ky, born of Merti/Merit, justified. Funerary meal.
