Translator's note. Line 242: kꜣy is uncertain, perhaps 'one who plans' or 'the quiet man'. Line 243: bw-rḫ≡j is obscure. Line 246: wgꜣgg is unexplained, evidently some harm. Line 247: jꜣq,w, 'injury', is uncertain. Line 250: jqꜣ, 'damage', and ḏnw (perhaps a dyke or a share of land) are uncertain. Line 251: tjmḥ is unexplained, perhaps 'troubled'.
