English Translation

"...so that nothing among these things may be unknown...
To Hermias, one of the successors and overseer, from Dryton son of Pamphilos (?)...
with the attendance of a Cretan from the deme Philotereios (?)...
Since Patseous, village scribe of Pathyris, privately registered me in the monthly account contrary to what is proper among those who are able [to pay] (talents?)
5 drachmas 1 (?), and concerning the demand for these things I was greatly troubled by him, and from the place of assembly (?)
having been transferred from place to place under guard, and from such circumstances... from a few...
and having paid off a certain part of these things; but as for the remainder, being in difficulty with the men and unable to arrange [payment],
I have arranged for Esthladas son of Dryton, purchaser of the lands registered under my name, to settle with the men; and now the remaining financial matters...
Therefore, I request, if it seems appropriate, that you order the proper cancellation (of debt) to be issued to him. When this is done, I shall be grateful.
Farewell."
