1ʾnmrm, of the family S²mrt, dedicated to ʾlmqh 2ḏ-Hrn this tablet, as he bade him 3in His oracle, because He protected him 4during his pilgrimage of ḏ-Mʿlṣn and because 5ʾlmqh granted him to win success thanks to (the dedication of) his bull, and 6because ʾlmqh aided and saved his servant ʾn- 7mrm from the wound which he received on the battlefield by the 8violence of the warriors. And may ʾlmqh continue to save and deliver 9His servant ʾnmrm from harm and mischief 10and any mischief; and may He grant him the goodwill of their lords, 11the family Mrṯdm; and for what has been favourable and may be favourable to ʾ- 12nmrm.
