Year 6 under the Majesty of 𓍹Khakheperra𓍺, given life for ever. An offering which [the king] gives [and Osiris, lord of Busiris, Khontamenti,] the great god, lord of Abydos:
May he give an invocation offering (of) bread and bear, bulls and birds, alabaster [and linen, ...], merehet-oil to the ka of the dignified scorpion-catcher Sebekhetep, justified, who says: His Majesty ordered the servant to be sent to the shrines of Waset in the Head of the South, in order to purify the temples. I performed a purification for them, in order (for them) to be clean on the monthly festival and so that they are pure on the half-monthly festival. His beloved wife Kefen. His son Mentuhotep. His son Amenemhet.

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.
