Translation

R
1Voice of the servants, the wab priests of Chnoum the Great, master of Elephantine, before Farandata, to whom Egypt is entrusted: We perform the blessings of Farandata
2before Khnum, the great god. Oh, may Chnoum cause his lifetime to be long! It happened on the 29th regnal year (of Dareios I.), Pharmouthi, the time for appointing a successor to the lesonis, that we had disposed Petechnoumis,
3son of Oaphres, who was lesonis. We had caused Eschnompmetis, son of Harchebis, to follow him as lesonis. We are in agreement
4[to appoint him as] lesonis. He will cause supplies of offerings and burnt-offerings to be presented before Chnoum. Issued by Espmetis, son of Esyris, the chief of the (sacred) wrappings, in the 30th regnal year,
52nd of Thoth.
