The stone jewelry maker drills with the drill bit (?) into every hard gemstone. When he has finished an ell of the (shining?) things, his arms are paralyzed from his fatigue. One sits until the food of Re, (while) one's knees are bent.
Der Steinschmuckhersteller bohrt mit dem Lochbeitel (?) in jedem harten Edelstein. Wenn er eine Elle der (glänzenden?) Sachen fertiggestellt hat, sind seine Arme durch seine Müdigkeit gelähmt. Man sitzt bis zur Nahrung des Re, (indem/wobei) einem die Knie gekrümmt sind.

About this record's data

- 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.
