With commentary
en
I was a silent one among the officials,
one of whom it was said: "await his arrival!",
whose heart conducted his affairs,
who was sent on account his being efficient in the heart (of the king),
whom the king honoured in front of the Two Lands,
his trusted one at the fore of his subjects,
a truly rightful one to (lit. in the presence of) people,
an official who untied what was knotted,
one beloved of the gods of Thinis.

  • - zꜣi̯ jwi̯.t=f: Lichtheim (1988, 77, n. 11) translates "await his coming" (mit einem Imperativ). Janssen, Traditioneele Egyptische autobiografie, 129-131, Nr. Cn versteht es als ein passives Partizip (d.h. zꜣi̯ in der transitiven Bedeutung "erwarten, abwarten"; so auch Spiegelberg, in: ZÄS 64, 1929, 72-73). Dort und bei Doxey, Egyptian Non-royal Epithets, 167-169 weitere Epitheta dieses Typs.
    - wḥꜥ ṯzz(.t): I.e. "solves difficult problems/situations".
