An offering, which the king gives to Nekhebet, the White One of Nekhen, wide of arm, lady of Fag, and Hathor, leader of the desert, and Osiris, lord of eternity, and Anubis, who presides in the God’s Tent, the One-who-is-in-the-Place-of-Embalming, lord of the Sacred Land, and Western Desert, who joins with the corpse, embraces the bones, and places the noble mummy in its place, so that they might give a voice offering in form of bread and beer, beef and fowl, travertine and linen, incense and unguent, offerings and provisions, and everything good and pure, which is offered to the god, surpassing the things, which are offered at the beginning of the seasons, and of those which come forth at the altar every day for the ka of the nomarch of Nekheb, scribe Pa-heri, true of voice, who says: ‘O you who give bread to the excellent bas in the House of Osiris, may you give bread at the proper time to my ba with you!’ – the honourable one, nomarch of Nekheb Pa-heri, true of voice.
