  the controller of the phyle of Abydus Imenysonb, true of voice, says: The scribe of the vizier, Sonb, son of the vizier, came to call me with a message of the vizier. Then I went with him, and found the overseer of the city, the vizier Ankhu, in his office. Thereupon this official placed a command before me [lit. in my sight], saying: Behold, it has been commanded that thou cleanse this temple of Abydus.

  Note: The proper noun ^snb is not included in the vocabulary; see however ^iw-snb, "Yewsonb", on p. 295. Faulkner writes wpwt instead of ipt, "message".
