Text 1 1 21st of Choiak: Thus has spoken to me The-Child-Born-In-Elephantine, 2 Espmetis, son of Petearensnouphis, while I was (at) the portals of 3 Chnoum, Satis and Anoukis, standing (to hear) that which is sought 4 (from) the one in whom iniquity is found, (for) they gave it to my hands, namely 5 making his plea: “I am the Osiris, Espmetis, son of Chnoum. 6 Say to Petrah, son of Psenpoeris: ‘I did not allow that your (scil. full) name will be called out, 7 the name, which your mother gave to you. Your name will be called out as follows: Petrah – 8 Petearensnouphis had been your name – because I have discovered your heart (i. e. your character). 9 Wealth was given to you in order that you (might) reveal your character. 10 Offending the god is that which you have done. There is no imploration 11 (nor) prayer (on) the dromos (of) Chnoum, as follows: ‘I do not know what I have done!’ 12 You know it! You drank (the) milk (from the) arbor (by) the quay, 13 which is poured in libation for Pharaoh and Osiris-Onnophris. You have done 14 the mortification of Isis! You have drunk milk (at) night, 15 while the goddesses (i. e. Isis and Nephthys) were in mourning-garb. You have called out to your wife, 16 saying ‘Tefnut, there is no goddess like her!’ 17 while the widow (i. e. Isis) was in the sacred grove. You have caused 18 the singers to sing, so that you (might) pass the time.1Lit.so that you (might) make time which was passing. You have 19 awakened the ba of Osiris from its sleep. 20 You have thrown off the cover from the mixed-wine for (the) beginning of the year, 21 while you were drinking with the Blemmyes, saying:’O herdsman, 22 evening has come upon me, while I am celebrating (i. e. swigging). Thus has passed the time 23 (of) the libation-pouring, while it (the drunkenness) is over me!’, (to) Pelaias, overseer of the cattle 24 (of) my (scil. the divine child) mother, while he was making Chnoum enter. 2Translation according to a suggestion made by Martin, Demotic Texts (1996), 342 (C 26); also for line 25. You have allowed the time to go 25 (to) the Abaton for the wrappings while you were drunk. 26 [///] is an iniquity in the District of Elephantine. There were disposed 27 these attorneys who measured wheat for the bakery. I have sent 28 to them as follows: Come to the plea (of) the annulment (of the) iniquity! 29 Those (things) which you have done: I have requested a favour for you. 3Lit.„a thing on your heads“. I withdraw 30 from you. You (scil. Petra) have instructed them as follows: Doing [evil] cannot 31 cause (an) offense to them.4Sentence of unclear meaning. Translation according to Martin, Demotic Texts (1996), 343 (C 26). I am well disposed towards you. [Chnoum does not forget] 32 (this) iniquity! He has given (the) face (of) Pharaoh after them (scil. the attorneys), so that they do not 33 have (a) share because they have listened to you (scil. Petra). He (scil. Pharaoh) has given the desert-people after them. 34 Their fields have been taken away, their dates have been eaten, their 35 people have been killed. They do not know to whom to make a complaint. Vso 1 He has thrown them out of the nome because they have listened to you.’ ” Text 2 Vso 2 “Say to Peti, son of Espmetis: ‘I have changed Vso 3 the name which gave to you your mother. I did not allow your (scil. full) name to be called out Vso 4 as follows: Petosiris, son of Espmetis, because I have discovered your heart (i. e. your character). Vso 5 I have given to you wealth in order that you (might) reveal your Vso 6 character. Harming me is what you have done. You have built your Vso 7 houses encroaching on their houses. You have committed an iniquity Vso 8 by that. You are doing more! They should be destroyed! May they perish Vso 9 by the temple of Triphis before I Vso 10 come to you! If I come to you, I will cause you to destroy them. Vso 11 I will cause their eyes to be opened to this before you will die Vso 12 (of) several of the(?) iniquiti(es). I have requested a favor from the hand of Vso 13 the priest to whom I made a complaint concerning you before you Vso 14 are crushed [///] Vso 15 is that what was done. I have spoken (to) (scil. the priest) Patous, son of Harpaesis, as follows: Write this in a letter! Vso 16 Let it be taken to them. There is no cause for persecution against you to be found There is no causing that it is found against you prosecution. Vso 17 If you do not read it before them there will be found iniquity in you!’ ” Text 3 Vso 18 14th of Phamenoth. Vso 19 Thus has spoken to me The-Child-born-in-Elephantine Espmetis, Vso 20 son of Petearensnouphis: “I do not enchant Vso 21 the one who committed an iniquity, without that I caused to open his eyes The one who Vso 22 does not speak in accordance with that which I said, [he] doubles Vso 23 his iniquities. I am Osiris Espmetis, son of [Chnoum. Say to] Vso 24 Petrah, son of Psenpoeris: ‚I did not allow the (scil. full) [name]to be called out, Vso 25 which your mother gave to you. There does not exist a calling out to the helmsman. They will not Vso 26 row on your request the boat which has stopped. You (should) prepare the cult service Vso 27 [with a] stela and sand. His ˹plea˺ was completed. Vso 28 [///] Vso 29 your clothing. They have not [///] drunkenness. Vso 30 Come inside the tower of the great. Annul Vso 31 (the) iniquity [///] Chnoum. Vso 32 [///] the supplication of the ..?.. Vso 33 [///] which I have requested for [///] the ˹priest˺, to whom [I] have requested Vso 34 for you. I withdraw from you.’ ” 1 Lit.so that you (might) make time which was passing. 2 Translation according to a suggestion made by Martin, Demotic Texts (1996), 342 (C 26); also for line 25. 3 Lit.„a thing on your heads“. 4 Sentence of unclear meaning.
