... just as they are like those that were made for Ra, exactly so. I will cause them to praise me for them, and I will not allow anyone to blame me. How useful is what my lord, may he live, has done, namely that people have been sent to me to teach them and to instruct them on how the great task is to be carried out. How wise it is that my lord has decided to have done what had not yet been done for Ra in this manner, for those who are here are like great children. (Only) the people who are like these people whom my lord, may he live, has sent are also those who are capable and who can receive my instruction, as they are foreigners in the manner that were brought in the time of User-Maat-Re-setep-en-Re (Ramses II), may he live, your perfect grandfather, and they said to us: 'We were the wealth in the households of the great,' and they accept the instructions because they are capable of doing everything that is commanded of them. It is a mission to cause the king to know. Year of reign 2, 3rd month, day 20.
... indem sie ebendso sind wie die, die gemacht wurden für Pa-Re, ganz genau so. Ich werde veranlassen, daß man mich rühmt wegen ihnen und ich werde nicht zulassen, daß man mich tadelt. Wie nützlich ist das, was mein Herr, l.h.g. gemacht hat, (nämlich) daß man Leute zu mir gesandt hat, um sie zu lehren und um sie (darin) zu unterweisen, wie der große (Arbeits)-Auftrag ausgeführt werden soll. Wie klug ist es, daß mein Herr beschlossen hat, das machen zu lassen, was man noch nicht gemacht hatte für Pa-Re in dieser Art, denn die welche hier sind, sind (doch wie) große Kinder. (Nur) die Menschen, welche in der Art dieser Menschen sind, die mein Herr, l.h.g. gesandt hat, sind auch solche, welche fähig sind und welche meine Unterweisung aufnehmen können, da sie Ausländer in der Art sind, die man in der Zeit des User-Maat-Re-setep-en-Re (Ramses II.), l.h.g, deines vollkommenen (Groß)vaters, gebracht hatte, und sie sagten zu uns: 'Wir waren der Reichtum(?) in den Haushalten der Großen', und sie nehmen die Instruktionen an, weil sie fähig sind, alles das zu tun, was man ihnen befiehlt. Eine Sendung ist es, um zu veranlassen, daß man (=der König) 〈es〉 weiß. Regierungsjahr 2, 3. Monat, Tag 20.
