1ʾls¹mʿ Ḏrḥn, 2king of Kmnhw, and his tribe 3Kmnhw confessed 4and did penance to ḏ-Mdhww, 5because they did a sacrifice 6of bulls instead of (?) a sacrifice 7of cows in His favour 8and because they diverted the water-course 9in the northern area (or, towards the North?) without 10ḏ-Mdhww; so may they protect themselves 11against doing the same thing (again).
