EN AI · OpenAI gpt-4o-mini (from scholarly German)
Death is the docking place for all people. [... ... ... a calm (??)]. When one transgresses/neglects (?) [... ... ...] he does. As for death for (?) a man who is close to him (whom?), on the day when he misses the appointed time to make a sacrifice for him (whom?), then [he (i.e., perhaps: the man who is close to him?)] will be buried with displeasure/contempt in the necropolis. (??) Mourning becomes something evil. That is the (or: his?) punishment of the god. His offerings have faded/burned away (?) because of his sins. (??). The misery (?) 〈...〉 (or: ... because of his sins against the needy (?)). Choose 〈for yourself〉 a labor camp (or: a labor organization) with (honorable) people (or: with your (own) people)!
DE scholarly · TLA / ORAEC
Der Tod ist die Anlegestelle für alle Leute. [... ... ... einen Ruhi]gen (??). Wenn man übertritt/mißachtet (?) [... ... ...] er tut. Was den Tod angeht für (?) einen Mann, der ihm (wem?) nahesteht, am Tag, wenn er die festgelegte Zeit, um für ihn (wen?) ein Schlachtopfer zu machen, versäumt, da [wird er (d.h. vielleicht: der Mann, der ihm nahesteht?)] mit Mißfallen/Verachtung in der Nekropole bestattet. (??) Zu etwas Bösem wird die Trauer. Das ist die (oder: seine?) Strafe des Gottes. Seine Opfergaben sind verblaßt/verglüht (?) wegen seiner Sünden. (??). Das Elend (?) 〈...〉 (oder: ... wegen seiner Sünden gegen die Hilfsbedürftigen (?)). Wähle 〈dir〉 ein Arbeitslager (oder: eine Arbeitsorganisation) mit (ehrbaren) Menschen aus (oder: mit deinen (eigenen) Leuten)!

About this record's data
  • From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by ORAEC (Online Resource for Ancient Egyptian Corpus).
  • 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.
