To King Ptolemy, greetings. Atheres, son of the priest Sokonporchnubios of the god of those dwelling in Moukhē of the region of Polemon. I am wronged by Thauētos, my wife, concerning those around the same village of the 24th year (of the reign) of Epiph. Having kept me, Thauēs, the aforementioned, that she has married me into the city of Crocodilopolis for the sake of need, she has taken from my house a linen garment worth (in drachmas) 10, a valuable (in drachmas) 5, a large cup (in drachmas) 10, saffron and stamen (in drachmas) 6, golden hair (in drachmas) 4, copper (in drachmas) 2, a pillow worth (in drachmas) 5, a full meat measure (in drachmas) 1, a (four drachma) sickle, bronze statuettes (in drachmas) 2, a writing tablet (in drachmas) 2, alabaster and ointments worth (in drachmas) 1, 5 bronze (in drachmas) 1, Syrian (in drachmas) 5, pairs of shoes (in drachmas) 2, a woven basket (in drachmas) 1, a papyrus table worth (in drachmas) 2, knives (in drachmas) 1, a (in drachmas) 1, a simple (four drachma) item together (in drachmas) 1, besides the other things in the house.

To King Ptolemy, greetings. I, [Hathe]res M[...]ios, priest of the god Sokonporchnoubis of those dwelling in Mouchis of the Polemon division, am wronged by Thaues, my wife, from the same village, in the 24th year, on the 3rd of Epeiph. The aforementioned Thaues, having observed that I had traveled to Crocodilopolis on business, packed up and carried out from my house: a linen garment worth 10 drachmas, a drinking cup worth 8 drachmas, a large ladle worth 8 drachmas, wool and warp worth 6 drachmas, a golden hair ornament worth 4 drachmas, bronze vessels worth 2 drachmas, a woolen pillow worth 8 drachmas, a chest worth 5 drachmas, two meat containers full of meat, a sickle worth 1 drachma and 4 obols, two small bronze statues, two boxes, a writing tablet, two baskets, [...] alabaster vessels and ointment containers worth 1 drachma, two small baskets worth 1 drachma, a Syrian garment worth 8 drachmas, two pairs of shoes worth 2 drachmas, a woven basket worth 1 drachma, a papyrus table stand worth 2 drachmas, knives, leg coverings worth 1 drachma, a hand towel worth 2 obols, a worn tunic worth 1 drachma, a simple garment altogether worth 4 obols; the total value of these items is 65 drachmas and 4 obols, excluding a certain gryte (large vessel) in the house. Therefore, I beg you, O king, to command Diophanes the strategos to write to Glaukos, the guard of Mouchis, to investigate these matters and compel her to restore the aforementioned items to my house, so that, having taken refuge in you, O king, the savior of all, I may obtain justice. Farewell.
