[The stone jewelry maker drills] the hole chisel (?) into every hard gemstone. When he has completed [a cubit of the (shining?) things], [his arms are paralyzed because of] 〈his〉 fatigue. With bent knees, he sits over the food of Re. Day of the birth of Osiris (= the first day of the Epagomenal days). End of the stanza. The barber shaves (still), when he reaches the evening, while circling the throat (?), which lies on his shoulder (lit.: is). He goes/shows himself from street to street, (namely) to seek those he wishes to shave. To fill his belly, his arms strain, like a bee, [that eats in relation to (?) its work]. 1st month of the inundation season, 5th day. The reed cutter (?), he travels downstream to the delta marshes, 〈to draw (lit.: grasp) arrows for himself〉.
[Der Steinschmuckhersteller bohrt] den Lochbeitel (?) in jedem harten Edelstein. Wenn er [eine Elle der (glänzenden?) Sachen] fertiggestellt hat, [sind seine Arme gelähmt wegen] 〈seiner〉 Müdigkeit. Mit gekrümmten Knie sitzt er über der Nahrung des Re. Tag der Geburt des Osiris (= der erste Epagomenentag). Strophenende. Der Barbier rasiert (noch immer), indem/wenn er den Abend erreicht, beim Umkreisen der Kehle (?), die an seiner Schulter liegt (wörtl.: ist). Er begibt/zeigt sich von Straße zu Straße, (und zwar) um die zu suchen, die er rasieren möchte. Um seinen Bauch zu füllen, strengen seine Arme sich an, wie eine Biene, [die in Verhältnis zu (?) ihrer Arbeit frißt]. 1. Monat der Überschwemmungsjahreszeit, 5. Tag. Der Schilfrohrschneider (?), er fährt flußabwärts zu den Deltasümpfen, 〈um für sich Pfeil(schäft)e zu ziehen (wörtl.: greifen)〉.

- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
