Apparatus
Of the consulate of our lords Constantine Augustus and Constantius Augustus.
To Aurelius Eulogius and Euphronius, who is serving as the legal representative of Hermopolis,
from Aurelius Leontius, a painter from the same city.
It has come to my mother Eudaimonida, properties and lands from the inheritance of her maternal uncle Pinoution, who died childless and without disposition, being the sole heir according to the laws; but Ammonius, son of Castor, from the village of Pentaleos, a farmer, has not provided me with any taxes nor has he relinquished the residence of the properties, which I do not know how to manage as a woman from afar.
Therefore, I am delivering the books of claims to be brought against you, my lord, the legal representative registered as Ammonius, to make the other one do so, as he has been in possession of the rents since the time of the death of Pinoution, and to the properties and the lands of the seized estate.
Of the consulate of the appointed Leontius, the appointed one.

Αὐγούστου (Augustus), ὑπατείας (consulatus)
[In the consulship] of our lords Constantius Augustus for the second time and Constans Augustus for the first time.
To Aurelius Eulogius, also called Euphronius, acting advocate (ekdikos) of Hermopolis,
from Aurelius Leontius, son of Leontius, painter from the same city.
My mother Eudaimonis has inherited plots of land and small estates from the inheritance of her maternal uncle Pinoution, who died childless and intestate, leaving her as the sole heir according to the laws.
However, a certain Ammonius, son of Kastor, grandson of Apis, from the village of Pentaleos, who is a farmer of the fields, has neither paid me the taxes nor vacated the residence on the plots. I do not know what he is aiming at, as he is distantly related through a woman... his village-like insolence.
Therefore, I submit the documents, requesting that the registered Ammonius be brought before you, my lord advocate, to choose one of two options... as he is acting irrationally... and to pay the rents from the time Pinoution died until now... concerning the plots and the agricultural lands of the seized property... Farewell. In the consulship mentioned above... Leontius, the aforementioned.
