Words speak: Osiris Pepi, you shall not go into those eastern lands. Rather, you shall go into those western lands, on the path of the followers of Re. Your messengers go, your couriers hurry, those who are before you run, so that they may report you to Re as one with a distinguishing(?) left arm (?). You do not know them, but you will excellently through them. Take (?) them into your arms like the shepherd of your calves. For you are the one who prevents them from becoming weary in your arms. You go out to them, powerful and effective ... in this your name 'Sopdu'. The scourge is in your hand, the $mks$ scepter is behind your hand. The slaughterers (?) fall on their faces because of you, and the non-falling ones kneel down because of you. For you are the one who prevents them from slipping out of your arms (?). Come(?) over them in your name 'Packende' (?) (or: North Wind(?), Flood(?)). They recognize you in this your name 'Anubis'. The gods will not descend to you in this your name '(Milk Goddess?) Iat'. But you shall stand at the head of the gods, like the eldest son, like the heir, like the one on the throne of Geb.
Worte sprechen: Osiris Pepi, du sollst nicht in jene östlichen Länder gehen. Du sollst vielmehr in jene westlichen Länder gehen, auf dem Weg der Gefolgsleute des Re. Deine Boten gehen, deine Eilboten eilen, die vor dir Befindlichen laufen, damit sie dich dem Re melden als einen mit absonderndem(?) linken Arm (?). Du kennst sie nicht, du wirst (aber) trefflich durch sie. Nimm (?) sie dir in deine Arme wie den Hirten deiner Kälber. Denn du bist es, der verhindert, daß sie in deinen Armen müde werden. Du gehst zu ihnen heraus, ba-mächtig und effektiv ... in diesem deinem Namen 'Sopdu'. Die Geißel ist in deiner Hand, das $mks$-Szepter ist hinter deiner Hand. Die Hinschlachtenden (?) fallen deinetwegen auf ihr Gesicht und die Nicht-Untergehenden knien deinetwegen nieder. Denn du bist es, der verhindert, daß sie aus deinen Armen entgleiten (?). Komm(?) doch über sie in deinem Namen 'Packende' (?) (oder: Nordwind(?), Flut(?)). Sie erkennen dich in diesem deinem Namen 'Anubis'. Die Götter werden nicht zu dir hinabsteigen in diesem deinem Namen '(Milchgöttin?) Iat'. Du sollst aber an der Spitze der Götter stehen, wie der älteste Sohn, wie der Erbe, wie der auf dem Thron des Geb.

- 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.
