My Majesty has ordered the receiving of a goodly old age in the favor of the king, while care is taken of the standard bearer Nebamun of the royal vessel Meryamun. He has reached old age while following Pharaoh in steadfastness, and being better today than yesterday, in performing what was put in his charge, without being reproached.

Ihave, not found any fault in him, although he was accused as an offender. Now my Majesty has ordered to appoint him to be police chief on the West of the City (of Thebes), in the places Tembu arid Obau, until he will reach the blessed state of the dead.
