The servant Mery-itief says to his lord, the king's son Ramses Maat-Ptah: In life, health, and prosperity. This is a message to let you know that I pray to all the gods of Piramesse, l.h.g., and to the great Ka of Re-Harachte (=Ramses II as a god): Grant that you are healthy, that you live, and that you are in the favor of Ptah, your good god. Another communication (to) my lord. Behold, whence does it come that I found no document? Behold, how is it that I had so many writings brought to you and you have not answered me even one of them? May your well-being be good.
Der Diener Mery-itief sagt zu seinem Herrn, dem Königssohn Ramses Maat-Ptah: In Leben-Heil-und-Gesundheit. Eine Sendung ist dies, um dich wissen zu lasse, daß ich zu allen Göttern von Piramesse, l.h.g. bete und zu dem großen Ka des Re-Harachte (=Ramses II. als Gott): Gebt, daß du gesund bist, daß du lebst und daß du in der Gunst des Ptah, deines guten Gottes bist. Eine andere Mitteilung (an) meinen Herrn. Siehe, woher kommt das denn nur, daß ich kein Schriftstück fand? Siehe, wie kommt es, daß ich dir so viel Schreiben bringen ließ und du mir nicht einen davon beantwortet hast? Gut sei dein Wohlergehen.
