Translation
| a1 | Who(ever) would know what's good for himself, would not... with thoughts of a carter (?)... |
|---|---|
| a2 | ... the wise one would strive... As the carter-way... |
| a3 | ... having gone a great way, a difficult way-... |
| a4+ | Having thus retreated from the law... having turned towards (lawlessness?), the fool, having reached domination by death, ... laments like one whose axle is broken. |
| a6 | What is to be done has been rejected. |
| a7 | In turn, what is not to be done, he does. ... of the arrogant and reckless ones... |
| a8 | ... influences grow in them... For they, far from the destruction of influences... |
| b1 | ... but, having begun well, (their) memory is always in their body... |
| b2 | ... they do not do what is to be done. Those persevering in what is to be done... |
| b3 | ... of the lowly... The influences set (like the sun). |
| b3+ | ... as much as he speaks a lot... |
| b5 | May he touch the law with his body. |
| b6 | ... who neglects the law. ... also a lot... here... together with... |
| b7 | A man who is negligent does not do that. |
| b8 | ... counting the cows of others... |
Other
| a4+ | Ebenso ist, nachdem (er sich) vom Gesetz (abgewandt) und (der Gesetzlosigkeit) zugewandt hat, der Tor, (wenn er in die Gewalt des Todes gelangt ist), betrübt wie einer [scil. ein Fuhrmann], dessen Achse gebrochen ist. (Schmidt 1974: 157) |

| a7 | Das Nichtzutuende wird wiederum getan. (Schmidt 1974: 229) |
