===In Egyptian territories in Canaan===
In 1979 the Egyptologist [[Hans Goedicke]] produced a second translation based on a detailed grammatical analysis of the document:
:The land belonging to Egypt was abandoned abroad and every man in his loyalty, he did not have a chief-spokesman [i.e. a pharaoh] for many years first until the times of others when the land belonging to Egypt was among chiefs and city-rulers — one was killed [the pharaoh], his replacement was a dignitary of wretches [a second pharaoh]. Another of the family happened after him in the empty years [a third pharaoh], when Su, a Kharu with them, acted as chief and he made the entire land serviceable to him alone. He joined his dependant in seizing their property, when the gods were treated just like men, as one did not perform offerings inside the temples.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Goedicke |first1=Hans |title='Irsu, the Kharu' in Papryus Harris |journal=Wiener Zeitschrift
Goedicke suggests that Irsu rose to power in Egypt's territories abroad, in Canaan, following years of neglect on behalf of the last three pharaohs of the Nineteenth Dynasty, Seti II, [[Siptah]] and [[Twosret]]. According to this translation of the document, the earliest of these pharaohs, Seti II, is responsible for not asserting his power and control over the region; the second was held in low regard; while the last, Twosret, is said to have made an alliance with Irsu who had ''de facto'' authority over the territories.
