Antipater Pythocles, greetings. I have written to you the copy of the letter sent to me by Phanios. As soon as you receive the letter, go and measure all the lands in your jurisdiction, as Phanios has written and having recorded by lineage, as it is possible, send it to us most accurately, so that we may present the geometry to Phanios. Thus, be precise regarding the matter as you write the royal oath. Farewell, (year) 34, Choiak 6. Phanios to Antipater, greetings. Earlier, I wrote to you to take care of the copy of the letter from Diotimos regarding the horsemen, as many as the land has been measured capable of being sown into the (year) [as] all the sowing and they may be able to descend to the king mounted and prepared for other necessities. Since the seed is with you, having received some experienced surveyor, go and measure all the lands in your jurisdiction and having measured by man, write down by lineage as it is possible most accurately the sown in each lot until you have measured all. Thus, be precise regarding the matter as you send the geometry to me with a handwritten note. Keep in mind how you will provide for us. For it is necessary for each of the young men to know how to relieve something and you are entitled to provide such needs until the matters concerning the landholding are established, so that having worked together you may justly obtain the presidency. Farewell (year) 34, Dios 22, Athyr 28.
