1To Parates, son of Inaros. I greet
2you here before Osiris, Horus (and) Isis, the gods
3of Abydos [who will grant] that [I] stand before you without
4harm. This letter has been brought to me. I have heard
5about your well-being and about the matters concerning which you have sent to me.
6Snebonychos, the priest of Sachmet,
7will tell you about the nature NOTE of the services
8which I have done on his order. You have sent to me concerning the matters
9with the couple of doors. You have not sent
10concerning their price. If you have found a ship(?) NOTE which
11is on the way to the north, it may bring them! And you should send to me
12concerning their price so that I might not give it (over) to the hand
13of Taha. One may accomplish it well!
14Do not let it be delayed, because
15I need them very urgently NOTE! And you should
16also send to me (concerning) their transport price. There are two men from Per-uqer
17who were brought to the south among
18the men from Per-uqer, who NOTE belong to a small garden
19(and) who are used to deliver to me some
20wine out of it. We do not know the place
21to which they are brought, while NOTE it is said to them:
22‘Guard the two men!’ May it be ordered
23to ask for the place to which they will be brought!
24And you should engage yourself in them, and you should
25take care that you can cause one to send [to us ] NOTE
26concerning them. If it happens that here is something which one will desire:
27let it be ordered to send to us concerning it.
28Written in the 3rd regnal year, 23rd of Epeiph.
vso 1To Parates, [_] son of Inaros.
