The sole friend, the overseer of troops and overseer of foreign mercenaries, Djemi says: I was an overseer of troops in this town. I did what the great ones love and the small ones praise. As for any overseer of troops on whom I descended, I returned successful from him, because of the perfection of my speech and the [ex]cellence of my conduct. I descended on Abydos, which was under the enemy (?). I caused him to go down to his house from (?) the centre of the city, when no man was powerful (enough) to fall upon him. I taxed the people of Wawat for/on behalf of every chief who had arisen in this area (= Thebais). I brought taxes from the Thinite nome (and) I was praised for it. I established the house (i.e. tomb) of my (honorable) father and filled it with precious things. I built a boat of 50 (cubits). I gave bread to the hungry and clothes to the naked. I came out 〈of my house?〉 and descended to my tomb. (This stela is) That which his beloved eldest son, Hetep, did for him. Overseer of troops, Hetep. His beloved wife, Neteshnes.
