Beginning of the teaching of education, the sayings of the (right) way of life, which the scribe Amunnacht has composed, wherein he says: You are (at this moment in the role) of someone who listens to speeches (literally: you are as a man in hearing speeches), in order to distinguish good from evil. Be (therefore) attentive (literally: give your face)! Hear my words! Do not neglect/overlook what I have told you! It is exceedingly pleasant to be found as a man who is valued in every work. Let your heart become like a great dike! (For) the flood beside it is immense. Accept my statement in its entirety (?; or: with all its provisions). Do not be unwilling to heed (?)! Keep all professions before your eyes (literally: look with your two eyes at all professions), (and) everything that has been written down, so that you will gain insight into the way to say what is appropriate (?), (for example) the saying that I have told you. First month of summer, day 5.

Anfang der Erziehungslehre, der Sprüche des (rechten) Lebensweges, die der Schreiber Amunnacht verfaßt hat, wobei er sagt: Du bist (im Augenblick in der Rolle) von jemandem, der Reden zuhört (wörtl.: du bist als ein Mann beim Hören von Reden), um Gutes von Bösem zu unterscheiden. Sei (also) aufmerksam (wörtl.: gib dein Gesicht)! Höre meine Worte! Vernachlässige/Übergehe nicht, was ich dir gesagt habe! Überaus angenehm ist es, (als) ein Mann befunden zu werden, der bei jeder Arbeit geschätzt wird. Laß dein Herz wie ein großer Deich werden! (Denn) die Flut neben ihm ist gewaltig. Akzeptiere meine Aussage in seiner Gesamtheit (?; oder: mit allen seinen Bestimmungen). Sei nicht unwillig, (sie) zu beachten (?)! Halte dir alle Berufe vor Augen (wörtl.: Blicke mit deinen beiden Augen auf alle Berufe), (und) alles, was schriftlich abgefaßt worden ist, damit du Einsicht bekommen wirst in der Art, das Zutreffende zu sagen (?), (etwa) den Ausspruch, den ich dir gesagt habe. Erster Monat des Sommers, Tag 5.
