[The barber shaves] in the late evening (literally: at the end of the evening), [while circling the throat (?)], which he has placed on his shoulder. He moves from street to street, (in order) to seek out the one he wishes to shave. To fill his belly, he overexerts his arms, like a bee that eats in relation to its work. The reed cutter (?), he travels downstream to the delta swamps, 〈to draw (literally: grasp) arrows for himself〉. 2nd month of the inundation season, 8th day.
[Der Barbier rasiert] am späten Abend (wörtl.: am Ende des Abends), [beim Umkreisen der Kehle (?)], die er an seine Schulter gelegt hat. Er begibt/zeigt sich von Straße zu Straße, (und zwar) um den zu suchen, den er rasieren möchte. Um seinen Bauch zu füllen, überanstrengt er seine Arme, wie eine Biene, die in Verhältnis zu ihrer Arbeit frißt. Der Schilfrohrschneider (?), er fährt flußabwärts zu den Deltasümpfen, 〈um für sich Pfeil(schäft)e zu ziehen (wörtl.: greifen)〉. 2. Monat der Überschwemmungszeit, 8. Tag.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by ORAEC (Online Resource for Ancient Egyptian Corpus).
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
