It is the servant of the foundation, the scribe Nechet, who speaks to the scribe Aau: Your well-being is like life a million times. May Harsaphes be active for you! May Ptah, who is south of his wall, refresh your heart with life! May your reputation be good with the Ka of Harsaphes, lord of Herakleopolis! [The servant there says: Let your scribe, l.h.g., know] that I, the servant there, have caused this writing to be sent in order to learn about [any] good behavior of your scribe, l.h.g.[sic]. Furthermore, regarding this Men-stuff - it is prepared. Furthermore, regarding this linen - it is woven. Behold, I have sent you this linen. Furthermore, regarding your house - it has been sold to this Wab-priest Nechet, its doors and all its things. Furthermore, I have sent you this ink, obtained in exchange for baked goods(?) - for how on a beautiful day you bring your heart (into harmony). But what does this sending of a message mean, without sending a corresponding explanation? Furthermore, Hebenu brings 10 jars(?) of strong beer(?), so that your life force experiences good. (Address:) What the scribe Nechet gives to the scribe Aau.
DE scholarly · TLA / ORAEC
Es ist der Diener der Stiftung, der Schreiber Nechet, der zu dem Schreiber Aau spricht: Dein Befinden ist wie das Leben millionenmal. Möge Harsaphes tätig sein für dich! Möge Ptah, der südlich von seiner Mauer ist, dein Herz erquicken durch Leben! Möge dein Ansehen gut sein beim Ka von Harsaphes, Herr von Herakleopolis! [Der Diener dort sagt: Lasse deinen Schreiber, l.h.g., wissen,] daß ich, der Diener dort, veranlaßt hat, daß dieses Schreiben gesandt wird, um [jedes] gute Verhalten deines Schreibers, l.h.g.[sic], kennenzulernen. Siehe ferner, was diesen Men-Stoff anbetrifft - so ist er bereitgelegt. Siehe ferner, was diesen Leinenstoff anbetrifft - so ist er gewebt. Siehe, ich habe dir diesen Leinenstoff gesandt. Siehe ferner, was dein Haus anbetrifft - so ist es verkauft an dendiesen Wab-Priester Nechet, seine Türen und alle seine Dinge. Siehe ferner, ich habe dir diese Tinte gesandt, geholt gegen Gebäck(?) - denn wie an einem schönen Tag bringst du dein Herz (in Einklang). Was bedeutet aber dieses Aussenden einer Mitteilung, ohne eine diesbezügliche Erklärung zu senden? Siehe ferner, Hebenu bringt 10 Krüge(?) Starkbier(?), damit deine Lebenkraft Gutes erfährt. (Adresse:) Das, was der Schreiber Nechet an den Schreiber Aau gibt.
