[May he anoint an inscri]ption written in my name with oil, make an [of]fering, (and) [set (it) back] in [its] place!
[The gods will (then) hear his prayers.
He will lengthen (his) day]s (and) enlarge (his) fam[ily].
[(But as for) the one who by some crafty devi]ce destroys [an inscription written in my name] or cha[nges] its position,

May he make his name (and) his descendant(s) disappear from the land] and have no pity on him!
