[...] (the priest) Pure-of-Hands of Amun-United-with-Eternity Piai from the house "[Usermaatre-meri-Amun-United-with-Eternity"] [..] [on the western side] of Thebes, speaks to his assistant, the scribe {{PN}} [... ... ...] [as follows]: [This letter is delivered to you with the following] content: May you direct your attention to the writing on the day, while you [read at night, for you know] the things that the ruler - may he live, be whole and healthy - has accomplished: [every] one of his intentions [is strict (lit. firm)]. [One registers] all [subordinates]. One takes away their best quality (i.e. the best of them). [One makes the man a soldier, the youth] a fighter. The child, [one raises it to tear it from the lap] of its mother [to snatch it away]. Once it has reached manhood, its bones [are crushed]. One will dominate him. There is no understanding (lit. heart) in your body. Fetch (?) [... ... ...] document [... ... ...].

[Man registriert] alle [Untergebenen]. Man nimmt fort ihre beste Qualität (d.h. die besten von ihnen). [Man macht den Mann zum Soldaten, den Jüngling] zum Kämpfer. Das Kind, [man zieht es auf, um es dem Schoß] seiner Mutter [zu entreißen]. Hat es das Mannesalter erreicht, so sind seine Knochen [zermalmt]. Man wird ihn beherrschen. Es gibt keinen Verstand (lit. Herz) in deinem Leib. Hole (?) [... ... ...] Schriftstück [... ... ...].
