[King's] command (to the) Grand Vizier, overseer of all works of the [King] and scribe of King Senedjem-ib. (My) Majesty has seen this building plan, which [you] have brought to the attention of the court regarding the construction area of the great courtyard of the Heb[sed] palace of (Djedkare)-Isesi. Yes, [you] have said to (my) Majesty that you made it (the plan) with a [length] of 1000 cubits and a [width] of 440 cubits according to what was told to you in the [palace]. What a knowledgeable one you are [indeed (in saying)] what (Djedkare)-Isesi [loves more than all things]. God has truly made you as the wish of (Djedkare)-Isesi is. (My) Majesty knows that you are more skilled than any overseer of works who has ever been in this whole land. Great things have been done through you, just as is done, [what (I) love] more than all things. Yes, you have led millions of times. So you will [again] work (as) overseer of all works of the King. Oh Senedjem-ib, [the Elder] - (I) wish you with me, for you know that (I) love you. Year x+6, 4th month of the Shemu season, day 28.

[Königs]befehl (an den) Großwesir, Vorsteher aller Arbeiten des [Königs] und Aktenschreiber des Königs Senedjem-ib. (Meine) Majestät hat diesen Bauplan gesehen, den [du] zur Kenntnissnahme zum Hofstaat hast bringen lassen wegen des Baubezirkes des großen Hofes vom Heb[sed]-Palast des (Djedkare)-Isesi. Ja [du] hast zu (meiner) Majestät [gesagt], daß du ihn (den Plan) gemacht hast nach einer [Länge] von 1000 Ellen und einer [Breite] von 440 Ellen gemäß dem, was dir gesagt worden war im [Palast]. Was für ein Wissender bist [du doch (darin), zu sagen], was (Djedkare)-Isesi [mehr liebt als alle Dinge]. Gott hat dich wahrlich so gemacht, wie es der Wunsch des (Djedkare)-Isesi ist. (Meine) Majestät weiß, daß du kunstfertiger bist, mehr als jeder Arbeitsvorsteher, der je in diesem ganzen Land war. Es wurde Großes durch dich getan, so wie getan wird, [was (ich) liebe] mehr als alle Dinge. Ja du hast millionenmal geleitet. So wirst [du (wieder) arbeiten] (als) Vorsteher aller Arbeiten des Königs. Oh Senedjem-ib, [der Ältere] - (ich) wünsche dich bei mir, denn du weißt, dass (ich) dich liebe. Jahr x+6, 4. Monat der Schemu-Zeit, Tag 28.
