The Bentresh Stela (Louvre C 284)

jy pw [jri̯].n zẖꜣ,w-nsw Ḏḥw,tj-m-ḥb m-bꜣḥ ḥm =f

The royal scribe Djehutyemheb came before His Majesty.

wḏ.n ḥm =f šmj =f r Bḫtn ḥꜥn wp[w,tj] pn

His Majesty commanded that he go to Bakhtan with this envoy.

spr pw jri̯.n rḫ-[j]ḫ,t r Bḫtn

The learned man arrived at Bakhtan.

gmi̯.n =f Bn,t-rš,t{j} m sḫr ẖr ꜣḫ{,tj}

He found Bentresh in the condition of one possessed by a spirit.

gmi̯.⸢n⸣ =⸢f⸣ [sw] [ḫrw,y] [n] ꜥḥꜣ ḥnꜥ =f

He found [it] [an enemy] [to] fight with him.

wn wr ⸢n⸣ ⸢Bḫ⸣tn wḥm =⸢f⸣ ⸢hꜣb⸣ m-[bꜣḥ] ḥm =[f] m-ḏd

Then the prince of Bakhtan sent again before His Majesty, saying:

jty nb =j jm[y] ⸢wḏ{.t}⸣ [ḥm] =[f(?)] [rḏi̯] jni̯.tw ⸢ntr⸣ […]

Sovereign, my lord, may [His Majesty] command [that] a god be brought [...]

ꜥḥꜥ.n sṯꜣ.n Ḫns,w-m-Wꜣs,t-Nfr-ḥtp r Ḫns,w-pꜣ-jri̯-[s]ḫr nṯr-ꜥꜣ sḥr-šmꜣ,pl

Then Khonsu-in-Thebes-Neferhotep was conveyed(?) to Khonsu-the-Provider, the great god who drives away the šmꜣw-demons.

ꜥḥꜥ.n ḏd.n ꜣḫ{,t} pn n,tj ḥꜥn =s m-bꜣḥ Ḫns,w-pꜣ-jri̯-sḫr-m-Wꜣs,t

Then this spirit which was with her said before Khonsu-the-Provider-in-Thebes:

jy ṯ[w] m-ḥtp nṯr-ꜥꜣ sḥr-šmꜣ,w,pl

You have come in peace, great god who drives away the šmꜣw-demons!

dmj =k pw Bḫtn

Bakhtan is your town;

ḥm.pl =k pw r[m]ṯ[.pl] =f

its people are your servants;

jnk pw ḥm =k

I am your servant.

jw =⸢j⸣ r šmi̯ r b{,t} jwi̯ =j jm r rḏi̯ ḥtp jb =k ḥr jwi̯ =k ḥr =s

I will go to the place from which I came, to satisfy your heart concerning your coming about it.

jwm[y] wḏ{.t} ḥm =k r jri̯ hrw nfr ḥꜥn =j ḥꜥn p[ꜣ] wr n Bḫtn

Let Your Majesty command that a feast day be made with me and with the prince of Bakhtan.

ꜥḥꜥ.n{n} hn[n].n nṯr pn r pꜣ[y] =f ḥm-nṯr m-ḏd

Then this god nodded to his priest, saying:

m[y] jri̯ pꜣ wr n Bḫtn ꜥꜣb,t ꜥꜣ.t m-bꜣḥ ꜣḫ{,t} pw

Let the prince of Bakhtan make a great offering before this spirit.

jr wnn nn jri̯[.w] [n] Ḫns,w-pꜣ-jri̯-sḫr-m-Wꜣs,t ḥꜥn p[ꜣ] ꜣḫ{,t} jw p[ꜣ] wr n Bḫtn ꜥḥꜥ ḥꜥn mšꜥ =f jw =f snḏ r-ꜥꜣ-wr

Now while these things were being done [by] Khonsu-the-Provider-in-Thebes with the spirit, the prince of Bakhtan was standing with his army, and he was very greatly afraid.

ꜥḥꜥ.n jri̯.n =f ꜥꜣb,t ꜥꜣ.t m-bꜣḥ Ḫns,w-pꜣ-jri̯-sḫr-m-Wꜣs,t ḥꜥn p[ꜣ] ꜣḫ [n] ⸢zꜣ,t⸣ n p[ꜣ] wr n Bḫtn ḥr jri̯ hrw nfr ḥr =w

Then he made a great offering before Khonsu-the-Provider-in-Thebes and the spirit [of] the daughter of the prince of Bakhtan, making a feast day for them.

ꜥḥꜥ[.n] šmi̯ n =f pꜣ ꜣḫ{,t} m-ḥtp r b{,t} mri̯ =f m wḏ,wt n Ḫns,w-pꜣ-jri̯-sḫr-m-Wꜣs[,t]

Then the spirit went in peace to the place it wished, by the command of Khonsu-the-Provider-in-Thebes.
