The Wab-priest of Khonsu and scribe Bak-en-Khonsu of the royal provisions to the scribe Anchef of the administration of the royal necropolis: In life, health, and prosperity, and in the favor of Amun-Re, king of the gods. May he grant you daily life, health, and favor before the gods and men. Furthermore: I heard about the attention to the matters you sent regarding the false testimony that I 〈about?〉 this man had given, (because) it was a matter that affected him too closely. Do not let me send millions of words (of apology?) to you and make ... about them. Let your hand rest firmly on the 17 bread rations, ensure that they are taken (over) and do not listen to the talk that they will say to you in contradiction to this. May your health be good.
Der Wab-Priester des Chons und Schreiber Bak-en-Chons des königlichen Lebensunterhalts an den Schreiber Anchef von der Verwaltung der Königsnekropole: In Leben-Heil-und-Gesundheit und in der Gunst des Amun-Re, des Königs der Götter. Möge er dir täglich Leben-Heil-und-Gesundheit und Gunst vor den Göttern und Menschen geben. Ferner: Ich hörte von der Beachtung für die Angelegenheiten, die du gesand hast, (und zwar) hinsichtlich des falschen Zeugnis, das ich 〈über?〉 diesen Mann gesagt hatte, (weil) es eine Angelegenheit war, die ihm zu nahe gegangen ist. Laß mich nicht Millionen von Worten (der Entschuldigung(?) an dich senden und mache ... über sie. Lasse deine Hand fest auf den 17 Brotrationen ruhen Veranlasse, daß man sie (über)nimmt und höre nicht auf die Rede, die sie zu dir im Widerspruch dazu sagen werden. Gut sei deine Gesundheit.
