It is the servant of the foundation, the son of Sechsech, In-su, who speaks to the lord, may he live, the son of Sechsech, Pehen-su: The servant there has sent this writing to learn of every good condition of the lord, may he live, in the favor of Month, lord of Thebes, of Amun, lord of the thrones of the two lands, of Sobek, of Horus, of Hathor, and all the gods - may they grant the lord, may he live, millions of year(s) to spend in life, health, and well-being, beginning on this day, as the servant there wishes. The servant there has said: 'A message for the lord, may he live, concerning sending me a conifer wood mast, a juniper tree steering oar, and a knob (of the oar) made of ebony for this rigging of the great sea ship of the servant there. For it is indeed the case that it is the rigging of the servant there. It is good if the lord, may he live, hears.

Der Diener dort hat gesagt: 'Eine Mitteilung für den Herrn, l.h.g., darüber ist es, mir einen Koniferenholz-Mast, ein Wacholderbaum-Steuerruder und einen Zapfen (des Ruders) aus Ebenholz für dieses Takelwerk des großen Seeschiffes des Dieners dort zu senden. Es ist nämlich der Fall, daß es das Takelwerk des Dieners dort ist. Es ist gut, wenn der Herr, l.h.g. hört.
