Translations:

1Rhṭ son of Tḥmh and 
2ʾmtʿzh priestess 
3of ḏ-Ġbt performed the
4ẓll-ceremony for ḏ-Ġbt at Kh-
5l for the sake of their property in
6Bdr and so favour them
7and their descendants.

Translation Notes:

5The phrase mlhm can either be taken as ml-hm "their property", or as m l-hm "that which (belongs) to them" (see Macdonald, p. 508 §2). The translation "their winter crops" (Macdonald, p. 507 §10) on the basis of Sabaic mly (see Beeston et al., p. 86) is more problematic phonologically and orthographically and so seems less likely.
For other translations and commentaries see the bibliography.
