"[...] to the governor [...] of the most illustrious city [...] of Silvanus [...] each until [...] this my lord [...]"

"Since [...] your concerning [...]"

"To Flavius Fortunius, the most distinguished governor, from Aurelius Silvanus Serenus, former magistrate [councilor] of the most illustrious city of Antinoopolis: Twenty-seven full years ago my elder brother Theophilus died abroad. A third part of his property belonged to me and to another brother, Serenus, which was to be held until we received news concerning his life. But he, anticipating my decision, took some of the possessions as he wished. Moreover, although [...] he cut down the plantation and carried these things away, and not content with this, he prevailed by the same [...] which he also deposited in escrow. Because of this illegality of his, I appeal to your courage and request [...] that you judge according to the rule of justice, granting to both of us the third part [...] of the property of our brother [...]"
