DE scholarly · TLA / ORAEC
An offering which the king gives (and) Anubis, who is upon his mountain, who is in the embalming place, lord of the sacred land: an invocation offering for the hereditary noble and local prince, seal-bearer of the king, the sole friend (of the king), lector priest, one dignified in front of the great god, lord of the sky, Idu, who says: I am one who loves to eat and hates dispute, a companion on the beautiful day (holiday). I have, however, given more than that which my father had given in the city and in the countryside. (Meine) Stele ist etwas erfreuliches (?). Der, der sie sieht wird sagen: "Wie versorgt/würdevoll ist Idu!" O living ones who are on earth, who love life and hate passing away, you shall say: "A thousand of bread and beer, a thousand of bulls and birds, a thousand of all good things for the diginified Idu!" His beloved wife, the sole ornament of the king, priestess of Hathor, the diginified Meretites. What his beloved son made for him, Sheditef.
