Edict of the King to the Grand Vizier and Scribe of the King Ra-schepses. My Majesty has taken note of this beautiful letter that you had brought to the palace on this beautiful day, on which the heart of Isesi was truly delighted by what he truly loves. What is desired by my Majesty is the sight (=reading) of this your letter more than anything. You are indeed knowledgeable (in this) to say what my Majesty loves more than all things, for your speech is more pleasant to me than all things. My Majesty knows that you love to say what my Majesty wishes. Oh Ra-schepses, I say to you millions of times the following: 'One who is loved by his lord and praised by his lord, (and) a favorite of his lord and the keeper of his lord's secret.' I know that Re loves me because he gave you to me. As surely as Isesi lives forever: You shall tell every wish of yours to my Majesty, according to your letter immediately (and) on this day, (and) my Majesty will ensure that it is fulfilled immediately.

Erlaß des Königs (zu dem) Großwesir und Aktenschreiber des Königs Ra-schepses. Meine Majestät hat diesen wunderschönen Brief zur Kenntnis genommen, den du in den Palast hast bringen lassen an diesem schönen Tag, an dem das Herz des Isesi wirklich erfreut wurde durch das, was er wirklich liebt. Das was gewünscht wird von meiner Majestät ist das Erblicken (=Lesen) dieses deines Briefes mehr als jede Sache. Ein Wissender bist du doch (darin), zu sagen, was meine Majestät mehr als alle Dinge liebt, (denn) angenehm ist mir dein Reden mehr als alle Dinge. Meine Majestät weiß, daß du liebst, das zu sagen, was meine Majestät wünscht. Oh Ra-schepses, ich sage zu dir Millionen Mal folgendes 'Einer, der von seinem Herrn geliebt und von seinem Herrn gelobt wird, (und) ein Liebling seines Herrn und der Hüter des Geheimnisses seines Herrn.' Ich weiß doch, daß Re mich liebt, weil er dich mir gab. So wahr Isesi ewiglich lebe: Du sollst jeden deinen Wunsch zu meiner Majestät sagen, entsprechend deinen Brief sofort (und) an diesem Tag, (und) meine Majestät veranlaßt, daß er sofort erfüllt wird.
