"...more deceitfully...
...plunder, report...
...he demanded from you...
...having been supported (or helped)...
and he demanded payment for the places,
thinking by this means to intimidate and render inaccessible
this place, and with his own people to expel me.
Unable to remain calm, I am compelled to proceed urgently
[through this report] and
I request
that, after this memorandum of mine has been registered, a copy of it be given
to Nestnephes, so that he may know it is useless for him...
...being prominent...
...and of the charges brought against him...
and of the accusation of theft, so that he may receive the appropriate reprimand
for the documents he dared to investigate,
while my action concerning the prophet Chairemon remains pending,
regarding the confirmation of the places.
[Year] 1 of Tiberius Caesar Augustus."
