The servant of the foundation Seanch-wi-rau 〈says〉: Your condition is like to life [a million times ...]. May Ptah, [who is south of his wall], [...] refresh [...]! May your appearance be good [...] Sobek, Horus, Hathor, Lady [...] [...] [all gods], who are in the sky and who are on the earth. They may allow the lord, l.h.g., to spend a million years [in life, health, and well-being, ...] this, as the servant there wishes. The servant there says: A message [it is for the lord, l.h.g.], that all matters of the lord, l.h.g., are safe and completely unharmed. There is nothing for which the lord, l.h.g., should be concerned. A message it is for the lord, l.h.g., [that the servant] there has sent this writing, to learn every good instruction of the lord, [l.h.g.]. A message it is for the lord, l.h.g., to arrange that [the servant there] writes about every good quality of the lord, l.h.g., and about the well-being [...]. A message it is [for the lord, l.h.g., to arrange] that an answer to this letter is brought to me by [anyone], who will come. [A message it is] for the lord, l.h.g., that these children have found nothing [...] and that this south and the delta region are in the hands of the chief of the serfs Qis here. It is good if the lord, l.h.g. - may he be healthy and may he live, takes note of it. (Address:) To the lord, l.h.g., the mayor Mentu-su, l.h.g., [(of ... Seanch]-ui-[Re)].

Der Diener der Stiftung Seanch-wi-rau 〈sagt〉: Dein Befinden ist wie zu das Leben [millionenmal ...]. Möge Ptah, [der südlich von seiner Mauer ist], [...] erquicken [...]! Möge dein Ansehen gut sein [...] Sobek, Horus, Hathor, Herrin [...] [...] [alle Götter], die im Himmel sind und die auf der Erde sind. Sie mögen den Herrn, l.h.g., verbringen lassen eine Million von Jahren [in Leben, Heil und Gesundheit, ...] dieser, wie es der Diener dort wünscht. Es sagt der Diener dort: Eine Mitteilung [ist es für den Herrn, l.h.g.], daß alle Angelegenheiten des Herrn, l.h.g., wohlbehalten und völlig unversehrt sind. Es gibt nichts, um dessentwillen sich der Herr, l.h.g., Sorgen machen müßte. Eine Mitteilung ist es für den Herrn, l.h.g., [daß der Diener] dort dieses Schreiben gesandt hat, um jede gute Anweisung des Herrn, [l.h.g.], kennenzulernen. Eine Mitteilung ist es für den Herrn, l.h.g., darüber zu veranlassen, daß man [dem Diener dort] schreibt über jede gute Wesensart des Herrn, l.h.g., und über das Wohlbehaltensein [...]. Eine Mitteilung ist es [für den Herrn, l.h.g., darüber zu veranlassen], daß mir eine Antwort zu diesem Brief gebracht wird durch [irgend jemanden], der kommen wird. [Eine Mitteilung ist es] für den Herrn, l.h.g., darüber, daß diese Kinder nichts gefunden haben [...] und darüber, daß dieser Süden und das Deltagebiet in der Hand vom Obersten der Hörigen Qis hier sind. Gut ist es, wenn den Herr, l.h.g. - er möge gesund sein und möge leben, es zur Kenntnis nimmt. (Adresse:) Dem Herrn, l.h.g., dem Bürgermeister Mentu-su, l.h.g., [(von ... Seanch]-ui-[Re)].
