Translation into English

Petosiris to Zenon, greetings. You have written to me to measure the land of Apollonios. I have therefore measured it for him from the harvests. Therefore, you will do well to write to Leon to receive the output of the harvest of the land of wheat and the measures I gave to Theopompus for the harvests of lentils. Farewell. (Year) 36, Epiph. (Year) 36, Epiph. Petosiris of lentils.

English Translation

Petosiris to Zenon, greetings. You wrote to me to measure out for Apollonios the farmer(?) one aroura of grass. Therefore, I measured it out for him from the threshing floors. You will do well, therefore, to write to Leon to receive the rent for the one aroura of grass: twenty artabas of wheat, and also the ten artabas of lentils which I gave to Theopompos for the dovecotes. Farewell. Year 36, Epeiph 25. (Verso:) Year 36, Epeiph 25. Petosiris, lentils [ten artabas] [...].

Notes

Apparatus criticus note (Latin): line 17, read περιστεράς ("dovecotes") instead of περιστάς.
