[The nobles as] well as [the transfigured] are be[ried in their pyramid tombs.] [Those who built (tomb) houses: Their] (tomb) sites no longer exist. [Behold, what has been made of them (the tombs)! (?)] I [heard] the words of Imhotep [and of Hordedef, with whose statements one often] [expresses oneself.] Behold the associated (tomb) sites〈s〉: [Their walls have fallen.] [There are] their (tomb) sites no longer, as if they had never come into being (lit.: like that which has never come into being). No one [will come from there, so that he could report on their --- to comfort our hearts (?)], until {your} 〈we〉 hurry to the place [to which they] (already) went. [Follow your heart,] as long as you live! Put myrrh on your head, [while you dress in fine linen! (?)] [Increase] your perfection! Do not let [your heart] grow weary! [Follow your heart and your good nature. (?)] [Set your affairs in order] on earth! Do not grieve your heart, until for you [that] day [of lamentation] comes! [The] weary of heart do not hear [their lamentation.] Lamentation does not save a man from the underworld.
[Die Edlen so]wie [die Verklärten] sind be[graben in ihren Pyramidengräbern.] [Diejenigen, die (sich) (Grab)häuser bauten: Ihre] (Grab)stätte[n gibt es nicht (mehr).] [Siehe, was aus ihnen (den Gräbern) gemacht wurde! (?)] Ich [hört]e die Worte des Imhotep [und des Hordedef, mit deren Aussagen man sich häu]fig [ausdrückt.] Siehe die zugehörigen (Grab)stätte〈n〉: [Deren Mauern sind zerfallen.] [Es gibt] ih[re (Grab)stättten nicht (mehr)], als ob sie nie entstanden wären (wörtl.: wie das, was nie entstanden ist). Keiner [wird von dort kommen, damit er von ihrem --- berichten könnte, damit er unsere Herz]en trösten (?) könnte, bis {ihr} 〈wir〉 an den Ort eilen, [zu dem sie] (schon) gegangen sind. [Folge deinem Herzen,] solange du lebst! Lege Myrrhe auf deinen Kopf, [indem du dich in feines Leinen kleidest! (?)] [Gib Zuwachs] an deine Vollkommenheit! Lass [dein Herz] nicht müde werden! [Folge deinem Herzen und deinem guten Wesen. (?)] [Regle deine Angelegenheiten auf] Erden! Kränke nicht dein Herz, bis für dich [jener] Tag [der Klageschreie] kommt! [Der] Herzens[müde hört] ihr Klagegeschrei [nicht]. Das Wehklagen rettet einen Mann nicht vor der Unterwelt.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by ORAEC (Online Resource for Ancient Egyptian Corpus).
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
