en
As for this tomb, which I made in the desert of the sacred land, in the midst of the/my ancestors who had created my flesh (and of) the dignitaries of the first (primeval) time, the possessors of monuments as ancient office-holders, the primeval ones (?) who started with the making of the sandbank of Heqet since the time of Geb, I built it in order to make lasting my place in their midst in the realm of the dead (lit. nome of silence).

Comments
  • - m-ḥr.j-jb jt.w: Sethe (1927, 108, oberste Zeile) liest jt.w=j: "meine Vorfahren".
    - pꜣw.tjw: Sethe (1927, 107) scheint von einem aktiven Partizip Plural pꜣ.w auszugehen: "von Urzeiten her daseiende". Diese Stelle ist im Wb. I, 496.14 unter pꜣw.tj abgelegt (DZA 23.116.890).
    - spꜣ.t jgr.t: Sethe (1924, 72, Anm. a) and Obsomer (2001, 537) read spꜣ.t=j gr.tj "my nome being in silence", Lichtheim (1988, 77, note 6) spꜣ.t=j grt "and my district also", but neither makes much sense here. Für spꜣ.t-jgr.t mit dieser Graphie von jgr.t siehe CT V, 333h und CT VII, 221o. Statt m-ḥr.j-jb=s〈n〉 〈m〉 spꜣ.t-jgr.t kann man auch zu m-ḥr.j-jb{=s} spꜣ.t-jgr.t emendieren: "within the realm of the dead".
