(1) Year 10, 3rd Akhet, Day 19, in the House of Amen-Re, King of the gods. The High
Priest of Amen-Re, King of the gods, Amenhotep, justified, was ushered into the great
open court of (2) Amun. There was spoken to him a paean (‘word’) of his praises, to
extol him with fine and choice words.
The notables who were sent to favour him (were): the Treasury-Chief of Pharaoh, (3)
and Royal Cupbearer (wb3 nswt), Amenhotep, justified; the Royal Cupbearer (wb3 nswt),
Nesamun; the Scribe of Pharaoh, and Royal Cupbearer (wb nswt), Neferkare-em-per¬
Amun; (4) (and) the herald of Pharaoh.
What was said to him by (way of) praise and on this day, on the great esplanade of (5)
Amen-Re,
King of the gods, namely (“in saying”):
“
(15) See now, what has been laid upon this Treasury-Chief and these two cupbearers (wb3
nswt) of Pharaoh, (16) [in order to] honour you, to exalt you, and to anoint you with
sweet moringa-oil, to present to you the washbasins (17) of gold, and silver as customlary
gift]s for the servant, which Pharaoh your Lord gives to you.”
As favour and reward, (they) gave them to him [on] the great esplanade of Amun, on
this day.
One caused that it should be enacted as an honour every year.
