Translation into English

To Antonios Longos, the decarch, from Herai, give the property of Dioskoros, with the lord of the related Ptolemaios the Father. On the night of the 15th of the current month, Athyr entered my houses in the village of Theadelpheia, of the portion of Themistos, of Arsinouitis, a bandit and having come out with my daughter Hero, they killed my caretaker Dioskoros and my brother, named Ptolemaios, and the maid of my daughter Isarion. Furthermore, they also took my complete collection of thirteen white garments, among which were ten wide female garments, and two children’s garments and other colored ones, white linen and a Spane. Another was a rose-colored and a milky one, and a perfect white phenol garment and a female collection of purple ones, among which were under the belt, and a pallion and a Tyrian one, and a saffron one and a red one, and an emerald undergarment and a pallion and a single red garment and other pallions, white saffron ones, and a Tyrian one, and a single purple one and a violet one, perfect ones, among which were pure ones, and white Lydian ones and new ones, and a fund and bronze items, lamps, a large jug, with the silver items, a shell, a red one, a frying pan, a small flask of kasitirin, and an empty bag and a fund and three hairy sacks, and a cloak and ten golden items in a collection of silver ones and drachmas and other items and gold rings and a hand bracelet and a neck ornament and a pair of earrings and silver ones, and if anything else of my caretaker was taken, I do not know. And I also give this book.

To Antonius Longus, decurion,
from Hera:
Give (this) to Dioskoros' (household),
with the authority of my relative Ptolemaios, son of Papos. On the night leading into the 28th of the current month Hathyr, a robbery took place at my houses located in the village of Theadelphia in the Themistos division of the Arsinoite nome. While I was away, together with my daughter Herois, they murdered my steward Dioskoros and his brother named Ptolemaios, and my daughter's maidservant Isarion. Moreover, they carried off thirteen complete white garments, among which were ten women's garments with broad hems, two children's garments, and other colored garments: one white-spun, another Spanish, another rose-colored, another milk-colored, and a white-spun cloak of fine Laconian weave; also women's garments, two purple ones, one of which was worn under the belt, and a cloak, a Tyrian-colored garment, a saffron-colored garment, a scarlet garment, an emerald-colored underbelt, a cloak, a single vine-colored garment, another rose-colored garment, and four other cloaks, two white, one saffron-colored, one Tyrian-colored, a single purple garment, two fine cloaks (abollae), one of which was unshrunken, two white blankets, two new ones, a sling, bronze vessels, two lamps, a jar, a large pitcher, a shell, three basins, two small shells, a frying pan, three tin flasks, an empty cushion, two haircloth sacks, two axes, one cleaver, ten gold coins in jewelry boxes, four mina-coins, forty silver drachmas, and also pledges: six gold rings, one bracelet, one armlet, one star-shaped necklace, two pairs of earrings, one crescent-shaped ornament, two pairs of silver bracelets, one pair of earrings. If anything else belonging to my steward was stolen, I do not know. And I submit this document.
