English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, all of you hear the edict which I now proclaim: “When someone who serves who could serve as the High Minister of the Ministry of State, I will certainly bestow the role [to him]. So, when I see my high priest protecting and assisting me, I think I want to make the two types of people, inside and outside, made beautiful by that moral, serve me without failure and when I hear what [they] tell and proclaim, I think surely he can endure bestowing [him?] the role of high minster in the Ministry of State. So I bestow the role of High Priest of the Ministry of State.”I proclaim, all of you hear the edict which also proclaims: “Thinking that if I ask? whether I will bestow this role to [him], he will definitely reject saying he cannot endure it and so I do not ask and bestow the role of High Priest of the Ministry of State.”
