Translations:

1S²rḥ son of ʾḏnm dedicated to ḏt-Ḥmym the covering slab, 
2by which ḏt-Ḥmym was pleased by him, according to the oracle 
3he had obtained; and may it be far from S²rḥ that 
4he will take for himself (one of) the priestesses of ḏt-Ḥmym; and S²rḥ placed 
5under the will of ḏt-Ḥmym his life, his faculties, 
6his children, his properties and Her reward which is favourable.
