And further: The following: I have arrived in Elephantine, (have) begun with 〈m〉y mission and registered the soldiers, the charioteers, the temple staff (?), the (service) boys 〈from〉 the administrative offices and the nobles of His Majesty. Behold, I have come to report at the great double gate - LHG - that (literally: by) my mission has (unstoppably) flowed like the inundation of the Nile. Do not worry about me, where I (have already) written (literally: sent) to inform my lord - LHG -. You shall please take note of this!

Und weiter: Folgendes: Ich bin in Elephantine angekommen, (habe) mit 〈m〉einem Auftrag begonnen und die Soldaten, die Wagenkämpfer, die Tempelangestellten (?), die (Dienst-)Jungen 〈von〉 den Verwaltungsbüros und die Vornehmen Seiner Majestät registriert. Schau, ich bin gekommen, um am großen Doppeltor - LHG - Meldung zu erstatten, dass (wörtl.: indem) mein Auftrag (unaufhaltsam) dahingeflossen ist wie die Nilflut. Sorge dich nicht um mich, wo ich (doch schon) geschrieben (wörtl.: geschickt) habe, um meinen Herrn - LHG - zu informieren. Du sollst dies bitte zur Kenntnis nehmen!
