If you withhold what I desire, [I] [will] say the name of the four tjꜣ who are in the Mansion of the Benben in Heliopolis: Sheri, Bes, Hua, Nemi, Mu-djai-djai, Bin-djai-djai, Gau-who-is-in-Heliopolis, Nema.
Translator's note. jnty ṱ≡k is obscure; taken as 'if you withhold' (from jnṯ 'fetter, restrain'). tjꜣ.pl, apparently a class of beings (feminine), is unexplained. The names are vocalised by guess and their division is uncertain; sp 2 ('twice') after ḏꜣi̯ is rendered as a doubled element. After the four names, mw ḏꜣi̯ sp 2 bjn ḏꜣi̯ sp 2 ... nmꜥ may be an incantation rather than more names: 'Water, cross, cross! Evil, cross, cross! Gau-who-is-in-Heliopolis, depart!'

Your strength is like the strength of Montu, your binding like the binding of Serqet; seize Seth [and] the enemies of Osiris!
Translator's note. qꜣjs is taken as qꜣs 'bind, binding'; it may instead mean 'sting', given Serqet.
