It is the chief archivist of Pharaoh's treasury - LHG - Amenemone, who informs the scribe Pentawer: The following: This letter of communication has been brought to you: Concerning the matter: Do not set your heart 〈on〉 fickle (?) behavior, like leaves in the (literally: before the) wind! Do not turn your heart to another (matter)! A man of action is wonderful. Do not turn your heart to miserable pleasures! They will not be useful. This brings a man no results on a day of misfortune, when he works and a (court) servant supervises him (literally: is behind him). The [30-member] college is gathered for his sake, when (?) he works. He did not regain his strength (?). Burdensome work (lies) before him, while there is no follower to bring him water, and no woman to prepare him bread, and while his comrades replace their hearts ... Their followers replace them, while the man who has no heart still works. His eye longs for them (the helpful followers?). He [---] for me the heart, the wicked, the strong (?). He does not listen when 〈I〉 speak to you. Strive for him, the legally free (?) office ... This is what every 30-member college and the court of the surroundings stands before. You should please take note of this! (Pause sign)
DE scholarly · TLA / ORAEC
Es ist der Oberarchivar des Schatzhauses Pharaos - LHG -, Amenemone, der dem Schreiber Pentawer mitteilt: Folgendes: Dir ist dieses Mitteilungsschreiben gebracht worden: Zur Sache: Richte dein Herz nicht 〈auf〉 flatterhaftes (?) Gehen, so wie Blätter im (wörtl.: vor dem) Wind! Wende dein Herz nicht einer anderen (Sache) zu! Ein Mann der Tat ist wunderbar. Wende dein Herz nicht elenden Vergnügungen zu! Die werden nicht nützlich sein. Das bringt einem Mann keine Ergebnisse ein an einem Unglückstag, wenn er arbeitet und ein (Gerichts)diener ihn überwacht (wörtl.: hinter ihm ist). Das [30er] Kollegium ist seinetwegen versammelt, wenn (?) er arbeitet. Er erlangte seine Kraft nicht wieder (?). Beschwerliche Arbeit (liegt) vor ihm, während es keinen Gefolgsmann gibt, der ihm Wasser bringt, und keine Frau, um ihm Brot zu bereiten, und während seine Kameraden ihre Herzen ... Ihre Gefolgsleute ersetzen sie, während der Mann, der kein Herz hat, (noch) arbeitet. Sein Auge sehnt sich nach ihnen (den hilfreichen Gefolgsleuten?). Er [---] für mich das Herz, der Schlechte, der Starke (?). Er hört nicht, wenn 〈ich〉 zu dir spreche. Strebe nach ihm, dem juristisch freien (?) Amt ... Das ist es, was jedem 30er Kollegium und dem Hofstaat der Umgebung vorsteht. Du sollst dies bitte zur Kenntnis nehmen! (Pausezeichen)
