2Not should any man on earth – and me likewise – be enabled to wield power over it except you. As for the one who shall come to you in regard to him, speaking: … in my name or in the name of any other man in the world I will cause him to withdraw from you, and I will cause him to be clear for you from every document and everything on earth, every document which was issued, together with every document …
3The oath (or?) the argument, which will be given behind you in every house… in order to cause you to do it in the name of everthing mentioned above, I shall do it. (Scribe of the contract): Achoapis, son of Petepiphis
