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. Fly like a cloud, Pepi, like a heron and fly/ flutter like the 'Father of the Children'-heron. Pepi will go to these his fathers, who are at the head of the $pḏ.w$. This Pepi will have his bread brought to him, which cannot mold, and his beer, which cannot spoil. Pepi will eat this his sole bread alone. This Pepi does not need to give it to anyone who comes after him, after he has 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. Fliege wolkengleich, Pepi, wie ein Reiher und fliege auf/flattere wie der 'Vater der Kinder'-Reiher. Pepi wird zu diesen seinen Vätern gehen, die an der Spitze des $pḏ.w$ sind. Diesem Pepi wird sein Brot gebracht werden, das nicht verschimmeln kann, und sein Bier, das nicht schlecht werden kann. Pepi wird dieses sein alleiniges Brot allein essen. Dieser Pepi braucht es nicht einem, der nach ihm kommt, zu geben, nachdem er es dem $knm.t$-Vogel weggenommen hat.

- 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.
