This is an edition of the Middle Kingdom ' text commonly called the ', as found on the.

Hieroglyphic transcription of the original hieratic text is done with reference to the hieratic as published in Jéquier 1911 as well as the hieroglyphic transcriptions given in Gardiner 1946 and Allen 2015 (but with differences in treating the hieratic). Transliteration and translation are my own, but with occasional consultation of Gardiner 1946, Allen 2015, Toth 2013, Federn 1950, Lichtheim 1975, and Simpson 2003 where interpretation was difficult or ambiguous. Since this translation is made for use in Wiktionary quotations, it errs more on the side of being literal than literary.

The line breaks here are made for convenience, but comments of numbers in the wiki markup of the hieroglyphic text indicate the original line numbering.
