Translation into English

On the one cubit

And the two partitions of these from the north

From the cedar to the sunlit cubits

They are cubits

And all of them into the partitions

Be strong (of the year) 24

Of Pachon 27

Notes:

• The text is fragmentary and incomplete, making a precise translation difficult.
• Measurements ("πήχεις" = cubits) and directions ("ἀπὸ βορρᾶ" = from the north, "ἀπὸ λιβὸς ἐπʼ ἀπηλιώτην" = from southwest towards east) indicate a description of dimensions or construction.
• "ἔρρωσο" is a common closing salutation meaning "Farewell."
• "(ἔτους) κδ Παχὼν κζ" indicates a date: "Year 24, Pachon 27" (Pachon is a month in the Egyptian calendar).
