| On the right half of the block Hatshepsut, wearing a wig with an uraeus, is standing before Amun-Ra, Lord of Heaven. The text accompanying Amun reads: "Words to say: I give you all life, all happiness, all health, all joy, like Ra." |

The text accompanying Hathor reads: "Words to say by Hathor: Maat-Ka-Ra, by love, I give you an infinite number of years." The text before Thot reads: "Word to say by Thot: "Daughter of Ra, Hatshepsut, I have testified [written] your position as King of Upper and Lower Egypt on the leaves of the holy Persea-tree. I give you life, like Ra." |
