1 S¹ʿdʾl ḏ-ʾbʿm dedicated to Ḥwkm Nbṭ and to the gods of the temple 2 S²bʿn the dedication of bronze, as he asked Him; 3 and Ḥwkm in the future might protect S¹ʿdʾl in everything he 4 will ask Him. S²ʿdʾl committed to Ḥwkm and to his gods his 5 faculties and his material resources and his brother ʾs¹ʿd and their sons 6 and their people. By ʿṯtr, by ʿmm, ʾnby, Ḥwkm and by their 7 tribe Bklm ḏ-Mrymtm. S¹ʿdʾl committed his dedication 8 against everyone who may damage and remove from its place. |
