the Nekhbite in per-neser, chief of the ka-priests,
Royal seal-bearer and sole friend (of the King),

one who enters the heart of the king [in private, while the] nome [governors(?) ...],
one who is over the sealings,
overseer of all duties of the door of the foreign countries consisting of the ornament of the king,
one to whom were reported the jnw-gifts of the Medja, consisting of the tribute of the rulers of the foreign countries,
one who spends the night in the god's booth on the day of the great festival,
one who received presents from the riches that the king gives out in the palace,

Comments

  • - rʾ-Nḫn: Cf. Jones, Index, 491; Fischer, Egyptian Studies III: Varia Nova. New York 1996, 43-45, n. 9, 252 and Franke, in: SAK 11, 1984, 210-211.
    - nḫb.y m pr-nsr ḥr.j-tp: Franke (1994, 197) reads nḫb.y m pr-nsr ḥr.j-tp as an expanded version of the title nḫb.y ḥr.j-tp (cf. Gardiner 1908, 126), and suggests a haplography to solve the "hanging" ḥm.pl-kꜣ: "chief Nekhbite in per-neser, chief of the ka-priests".
    - sḏm sḏm.t wꜥ: Lesung wꜥ für den hockenden Mann (Gardiner A1) nach Gardiner 1908, 126, Anm. e. Vgl. Ward, Index, 174, Nr. 1503.
    - jwi̯ n=f tꜣ.du tm(.du) mnmn=f ḫft rmṯ r s.t.pl sḫr.t ḫft.j.pl nswt: After Edel 1971, 9.
    - ꜥq jb nswt m wꜥꜥ.w: After Edel 1971, 10 and Abb. 1. Cf. Janssen 1946, 79-81, esp. O20.
    - ḥqꜣ.pl n.w spꜣ.t.pl [...] ⸮ḥr? ⸮pri̯.t?: After Edel 1971, 10 and Abb. 1.This is most likely a contrasting statement emphasizing Sarenput's privileged status as opposed to other governors, as Sarenput claims to have been distinguished more than other nome governors in line 8.
    - ḥr.j ḥkn.w m dp.t-nṯr: Edel, in: ZÄS 87, 1962, 100, Anm. 2 und Obsomer lesen wjꜣ nṯr aber das Schiff hat keine besondere Merkmale.
    - ḥr.j bjꜣ.t nb(.t) Ztj.w: vielleicht ist statt ḥr.j auch nur die Präposition ḥr: "wegen, bezüglich" zu lesen (so etwa die Übersetzung von Edel, Franke, Obsomer)
