An offering that the king gives and Osiris, Lord of Busiris, Khentamenti, Lord of Abydos on all his places: an invocation offering of a thousand of bread and beer, a thousand of bulls and fowl, a thousand of alabaster vessels and pieces of linen, a thousand of all good and pure things for the dignified follower Megegi, who says: I spent a period of years in the era of the Horus-King 〈Nakht-〉neb-tep-nefer, making his heart beat (lit. "stride") every day with everything that his ka loved. I was one who loved good and hated evil, who spent the day according to its course. I did not deduct (any) time from the day, I did not waste any good hour. I spent years on earth, I reached the roads of the necropolis, and I made all funerary equipment that is made for the honoured ones. I am one who spends his day and follows his hour in the course of every day. His beloved wife Henit. The dignified Amenemhat.
