Words speak: Tumult is in the sky. "We have seen something new," say they, the primordial gods. (O) Ninefold, Horus is in the brilliance of light, after he has made the lords of a form tremble (?). The two Ninefolds altogether serve him, while he sits in the place of the All-Lord. Unas will take possession of the sky and split its metal/light sea, Unas will guide Chepri on the paths. When Unas sets in life in the west, the underworld beings escort him. When Unas shines renewed in the east, then the one who resolves the disturbance (?)/who separates the two disputants (?) shall come to him in reverence. Unas has made the gods tremble (?), he who is older than the Great. Unas takes Hu, Neheh is brought to him, Sia is placed at his feet. Jubilation (?) for Unas, after he has taken possession of the horizon.
Worte sprechen: Tumult ist im Himmel. "Wir haben etwas Neues gesehen", sagen sie, die urzeitlichen Götter. (O) Neunheit, Horus ist im Lichtglanz, nachdem er die Herren einer Gestalt hat zittern lassen (?). Die beiden Neunheiten insgesamt dienen ihm, während er auf dem Platz des Allherrn sitzt. Unas wird den Himmel einnehmen und dessen Metall/Lichtmeer spalten, Unas wird Chepri die Wege weisen. Geht Unas in Leben im Westen unter, geleiten ihn die Unterweltlichen. Leuchtet Unas erneuert im Osten auf, dann soll der, der die Störung auflöst (?)/der die beiden Streitenden trennt (?), zu ihm in Verbeugung kommen. Unas hat die Götter zittern lassen (?), (er) der älter ist als der Große. Unas nimmt Hu, Neheh wird ihm gebracht, Sia wird für ihn zu seinen Füßen plaziert. Jubel(?) für Unas, nachdem er den Horizont eingenommen hat.

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.
