DE scholarly · TLA / ORAEC
Year 12 under the Majesty of the king of Upper and Lower Egypt 𓍹Nebukaure𓍺 (= Amenemhat II), who lives forever and ever. His true and trusted servant, who does all what he praises in the course of every day, overseer of horn, hoof, feather and scale, overseer of small cattle in the entire land, Amenemhet, son of Antef, son of Kemsi, says: I was a father to the orphan, husband to the widow, and windbreak for the cold one. I gave bread to the hungry and clothes to the naked. I saved a man from the gate of the place of slaughter, I spoke on behalf of a man without him knowing it. I did not discredit a man to his superior. There were no dead ones under my command. O living ones on earth, who shall pass by this tomb, may you say: "A thousand of bread and beer, bulls and birds on the altar of Khentamenty, lord of Abydos, for the dignified overseer of small cattle Amenemhet, justified, lord of dignity." His beloved and trusted wife Kem, justified.
