Translation: 
  1. Saying by the Osiris so-and-so: My Abomination! My Abomination! I shall not eat (it). I have not stepped on it. My abomination is feces.
  2. I shall not eat it, namely, dung. The Osiris so-and-so shall not fall. Oh, Mistress of the Sycamore, {Iwefaa}, Hathor.
Footnotes: 
  1. The scribe on this coffin does not differentiate between Gardiner A1 and Gardiner A2
  2. Here, the glyph Gardiner D5 should have perhaps been used be instead of Gardiner U1.
  3. Htp-kA, Wb 3, 195.1
  4. The phrase Iw=f-aA is here taken to be the name of the deceased, inserted into the middle of the spell. The spelling with the bookroll determinative is odd, but is paralleled by the spelling of the name of the name of the deceased in the offering formula on the sides of the proposed inner coffin of this individual, PAHMA 6-19928
