You won't find it on the internet anywhere. Search results only yielded a small handful of pages but nothing relative. Here are a few quotes I did find on the subject from other sites though.
The text of the Inventory Stella in the Cairo Museum clearly indicates that both the Great Sphinx and Pyramid were in existence long before Khufu and that the structure was dedicated to the goddess of magic and not to Khufu. The Sphinx Stella (Where is it?), erected by Thutmosis IV, stated he had restored the Sphinx and paid tribute to an earlier restoration by Khafre indicating the Sphinx was already old and Khufu did not build the pyramid. Like Ramesses II (sometimes spelled Ramses), many pharaohs took credit for what was done prior to their reign. Rewriting history seems to be an obsession for historians. To confuse the literate, names have several different spellings because the English is a phonetic translation of the Arabic or hieroglyphics or Greek or what-ever. http://www.wetrekmd.com/trips/egypt/egypt.htm

Naturally, here is what Hawass has to say about the entire subject as we all know he doesn't believe the Sphinx or GP could have existed before the reign of Khufu. Perish the thought!:
Phase II of the Sphinx conservation:
Saite period (500 BC)
In 1853 A. Mariette found the so-called Inventory Stela, or, the so-called Stela of the daughter of Cheops (Khufu). It was found on the east side of the pyramid of GIC, located on the east side of the great pyramid and dated to the 26th Dynasty. The stela indicates that the Sphinx was repaired in this period. To this period may be attributed the major layer of restoration masonry on the upper part of the Sphinx's body on the south side. This layer, composed of smaller slabs than those of the Old Kingdom, was laid over the earlier (phase I) layer of Thutmosis, the surface of which was cut away in phase II, however, for fitting the new stones. It is important to note here that the restorers did not remove the Old Kingdom stones from the Sphinx. The Saite restoration also focused on the Sphinx's tail and on the (nemes) headdress. The Egyptians of this period may also have painted the Sphinx. There is no evidence, however, of any excavations around the base of the Sphinx in this period. Even Herodotus is silent on the Sphinx, suggesting that it was at least partially obscured with sand. http://www.guardians.net/hawass/sphinx2.htm

I guess that's why we can't find the stella on the web. Hawass won't allow it because he doesn't want people to be encouraged when thinking the Giza Plataeu is actually older than he wants us to believe.
If you read the information supplied by Catastrophe, you can easily see that the GP & Sphinx were built prior to the reign of Khufu. But again, perish the thought that we have to re-write history because Hawass calls it a 'so-called' stella, i.e. meaning he doesn't believe it's the real deal. I guess that's why it's covered in glass in the Cairo museum somewhere never to be released to the public for further exploration. You figure it was discovered in the 1800's, why isn't it available for us laymen to interpret. Maybe because we'll find out it's secrets.
