This work presents the hieroglyphic transcription, transliteration, and translation of four oracular texts engraved on the outer wall of the eastern wall of the courtyard of the 10th pylon of the temple of Karnak. These texts were engraved under the authority of the Theban Pontiff Pinedjem II during the 21st Dynasty, perhaps during the reign of the Tanite rulers Siamun/Psusenes II (c. 975-945 BC). First, there are three texts serving as a kind of caption to three reliefs that successively represent the Barque of Amun, the Barque of Khonsu, and the Barque of Mut. The fourth text, much more developed than the previous ones, occupies the lower part of the same wall.
