None extracted.
It is decreed that no one among the laws of Memphis shall bring fire or any other thing down into the lower country, nor shall anyone bring it up into Thebes, under penalty of being liable to death if caught.
And let the one wishing to report concerning those who do these things inform the strategists according to the law, in which case he will be punished.
Of the property of the one who is to be seized, one third shall be taken; but if he is a slave, he shall be free and shall receive one sixth.
Endorsed.

By order of the king and queen:
No one from the nomes above Memphis who purchases grain or legumes shall transport them down to the lower country, nor shall anyone transport them up into the Thebaid under any pretext. Rather, all such goods must be brought without exception to Alexandria. Anyone caught violating this order shall be liable to the death penalty.
Anyone who wishes may inform against those acting contrary to these instructions to the generals of each nome, and he shall receive one-third of the property confiscated from the offender. If the informer is a slave, he shall be set free and shall receive one-sixth.
