English

   1  [......]bm and Klbm descendants of ʾġrb and ḏ-Rs²dm [... ...]
   2  [......] founded and constructed their house ʾḥrm and all [... ...]
   3  [......] and its mṣdq rooms for them and their children [... ...]
   4  [......] by the help of their god ʿm and their solar deity [... ...]
3It seems better to understand mṣdqt-hw as a part od the house; the previous translation was: "its owenership documentary proof".
