A gift for good luck.
This statue is a gift. I am YTNBˁL, the regional governor, son of GRˁŠTRT, the regional governor, son of ˁBDˁŠTRT, the regional governor, son of ˁBDˀSR,
son of GRˁŠTRT son of ŠLM, fruit of KRML, which I erected for myself at the sanctuary of MLQRT, a memorial of good luck among the living for the sake of my name.
In the new moon of the sacrifice of SSM, which is year 11 of the lord of kings, Ptolemy, son of the lord of kings, Ptolemy,
which is to the people of LPṬ year 33. The priest for the lord of kings was ˁBDˁŠTRT son of GRˁŠTRT,
the regional governor, fruit of KRML. In the month of MPˁ which was in year 4 of the lord of kings, Ptolemy, son of the lord of kings,
Ptolemy, during the lifetime of my father, I set up in the sanctuary of MLQRT the gift of the face of my father in bronze. In the month of
PˁLT which was in year 5 of the lord of kings, Ptolemy, son of the lord of kings, Ptolemy, during the lifetime of
my father, I gave and consecrated wandering animals in the territory of the region of NRNK to my lord, MLQRT.
... ... I made high places for the people and altars to my lord, MLQRT,
for my life and for the life of my seed, day by day, and for the legitimate offspring and for his wife, and for my people,
in the new moons and in the full moons, month by month, until forever, as before, as the bronze plaque
which I wrote and nailed to the wall, in which are the details of my generosity. And I made
... ... in silver, its weight was 102 KR. And I consecrated to my lord,
MLQRT. May wealth and good luck come to me and to my seed, and may MLQRT remember me
... ... good luck, root.
