To Demetrios,
From those under Athenodoros the administrator, from the shipmasters from the harbor who transport the royal grain here for measurement:
Since the tax collectors unjustly exact from us a quarter of the freight charges, never [ - ca.10 - ] and shaking us down [ - ca.9 - ], we request you, if it seems good to you, to summon them and investigate. And if they appear to be unfairly deceiving us, do not allow them to slander us.
Farewell.
