“Your gracious charity
O faithful Khonsuemheb
Well-intentioned
But fated for naught
“In this fateful hour
Thine oath nearly filled
Here I bare the truth
“When scales weighed my heart
And found it putrid black
I sought respite from doom
“In death as in life
I bargained with others’ fare
The jaws of Ammit
Would be stayed thus
“My sepulcher ruins
Ravish is my tomb
And I mourn to passers-by
“Their pity bids them forth
To repair my grave
Unknown that they shall die
“These volleys of newly dead
Sacrificed to slake Ammit’s needs
Her hunger is vast
“I submit your life
As a sacrifice
Your cruel reward for godly deeds"
