To Uegetus and Sarapion, strategos of Arsinoite Heracleides, a portion from Stotoetios of Horion and Panoupius of Tesenouphes, from the village of Soknopaiou Nysos.
When Horion had descended into our village, he urged us to ascend to the mother city and to buy from his father Stoteitis, who is called Mikros, wheat, and having received from us three hundred silver drachmas as the price of the wheat.
So that giving to his father he became invisible, having taken my purse in which was a new belt. When we approached his father concerning the wheat, he denied that he had received any silver or to know where his son is. Therefore, we request to remain with you in the registration of this memorandum to present and to bring the father of him to you so that we may find him.
Of those from you who are just. Stoteitis (of years?) 20, (of the left sheep) Panoupius (of years?) 26, without mark (of the year) 22 of the Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, Phaiophis.

To Vegetus, also called Sarapion, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division,
from Stotoetis son of Horion and Panoupis son of Tesenouphis,
both from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos.
A certain Horion, having come down to our village,
persuaded us to go up to the metropolis
and buy wheat from his father,
called Stotoetis the Younger.
Having received from us three hundred drachmas of silver
as payment for the wheat,
he disappeared, taking also my bag
in which was a new belt.
When we approached his father concerning the wheat,
he denied having received any money
and claimed not to know where his son was.
Therefore, we request that this petition be registered with you,
so that the same man may be brought before you and held accountable,
and also his father, so that we may obtain justice from you.
Stotoetis, about 28 years old, scar on the left cheek;
Panoupis, about 26 years old, no distinguishing marks.
Year 22 of Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, Phaophi 24.
