The scribe [Ra-mose(?)] to the father of the god Imen-hetepu [from the temple] of the king of Upper and Lower Egypt User-maat-Re-setep-en-Re, may he live, in the temple of Amun in the West of Thebes. I pray to Meretseger, the lady of the West: May it be granted that you are healthy ... and that you experience a long lifespan and a noble old age .?. and that you perform the office of your father and your ... children receive for you even after 100 of hundreds of thousands of years ... as you are in the favor of Amun, who is united with Thebes (=Amun of the Ramesseum). But - truly - what shall your sending ... with the words: Let a jug of wine be brought ... and let me be brought ... and a goat (?) [for you(?)] ... And ... , for what do you give ... ?

Der Schreiber [Ra-mose(?)] an den Gottesvater Imen-hetepu [vom Tempel] des Königs von OÄg und UÄg User-maat-Re-setep-en-Re, l.h.g. im Tempel des Amun im Westen von Theben. Ich bete zu Meretseger, der Herrin des Westens: Möge gegeben sein, daß du gesund bist ... und daß du eine lange Lebenszeit und ein erhabenes Alter erlebst .?. und daß du das Amt deines Vaters ausübst und deine ... Kinder für dich noch nach 100 von Hunderttausenden von Jahren empfangen ... indem du in der Gunst des Amun, der mit Theben vereinigt ist (=Amun vom Ramesseum), bist. Aber - wahrlich - was soll deine Aussenden ... mit den Worten: Laß eine Krug von Wein bringen ... und laß mir bringen ... und eine Ziege (?) [für dich(?)] ... Und ... , denn was gibst du ... ?
