A speech from Mer-irtief to Neb-itief: How are you? Does the Great (Goddess of the West) care for you according to your wish? Behold - I am the one whom you loved on earth. Strive for me (and) advocate for my name. I did not distort any statement before you, (but) I preserve your name on earth. Keep sickness away from my limbs. Oh - may you be spirit for me (and) before me, so that I may see in a dream, (how) you strive for me. I will lay down from the offerings...(until the sun etc.) rises, as I prepare the offering table for you. A speech from Chu-au to his sister ...: I have not distorted a statement before you and I will not remove any offering from you, since I (indeed) brought it forth... Strive for me (and) strive for my wife and my children.

Eine Rede von Mer-irtief zu Neb-itief: Wie geht es dir? Kümmert sich denn die Große (Göttin des Westen) um Dich gemäß deinem Wunsch? Siehe - ich bin die, die du auf Erden liebtest. Bemühe (dich) um mich (und) setze dich für meinen Namen ein. Ich entstellte keinen Ausspruch vor dir, (sondern) ich erhalte deinen Namen auf Erden. Halte die Krankheit fern von meinen Gliedern. Ach - mögest du Geist sein für mich (und) vor mir, so daß ich sehen möge im Traum, (wie) du dich um mich bemühst. Ich will von den Opfern niederlegen...(bis die Sonne o.ä.) aufgeht, indem ich für dich die Opfertafel einrichte. Eine Rede von Chu-au zu seiner Schwester ...: Ich habe nicht eine Ausspruch vor Dir entstellt und ich werde auch kein Opfer von Dir entfernen, da ich es (ja gerade) herbeiholte... Bemühe dich um mich (und) bemühe dich um meine Ehefrau und meine Kinder.
