Comment - read: ir={w} ḥḏ - r-bn rx nA Pr-aA.w HA.t.w ir=s m-qd=s - this phrase is a little bit difficult to align: it is a negative clause in past tense in which the object of the sentence before (di.t Sm mw) is mentioned again within the suffix pronoun 3rd pers. sg. fem. (=s); the negation bn is translated with "no" (like German "kein").
