Translation into English

To Apollonius, the general of Apollonopolis, from the Seven Cities, from Bokus, Pantbotes, and Hartbotes, and Pachoumis and Hartbos, it is recorded for us that the royal land concerning the village administration of Poios is to be administered in the name of Bokus alone. Since they cannot bear such a burden, I myself am weighed down by the taxes. Therefore, I undertake, according to the benefaction of the lord Hadrian Caesar, to cultivate the lands that are presented to me, each of the arable lands, given to me of the dry and the half-dry, according to the custom, concerning the village administration of Terytheos, of the dry. In the year of the Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian, the Most Honorable. Bokus, Pantbotes, and Hartbos, and Pachoumis, and Hartbos, the younger brothers, have given in as they are required. The younger brother wrote on their behalf because he did not know the letters.

English Translation

To Apollonius, strategos of the Apollonopolite nome [of Heptakomia],
from Bokos, son of Pantboos, and Artboos, and Pachoumis, and Artboos:
[...] are registered to us royal land around the village administration of Poeos at [...]
and around the village administration of Terythis in the name of Bokos alone at 4 1/12 [...]
Since, therefore, they cannot bear such a tax burden, and I myself am burdened by the payments,
I undertake, according to the benefaction of our lord Hadrian Caesar,
to cultivate the aforementioned arouras at the rate of 1 1/24 per aroura,
receiving the unirrigated land and half of the artificially irrigated land according to custom,
around the village administration of Terythis, unirrigated.
Year 2 of Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, Choiak 5.

We, Bokos son of Pantboos, and Artboos, and Pachoumis, and Artboos the younger, brothers,
have submitted as stated above. [...] the younger P[...]tos wrote on their behalf because they do not know letters.
