English Translation

To Claudius Alexandros (?), centurion,
from Panetbeous, public farmer from the village of Theadelphia.
The woman who was living with me, from whom I also had a child, having turned her affections elsewhere, took advantage of my absence and left my house some months ago without the so-called formal separation, taking with her both her own belongings and many of ours, among which were a large white unfulled cloak, an Oxyrhynchite kerbikarion (a type of garment), a double cross-striped garment, two sets of tunic-making tools, and other farming implements.
Although I have repeatedly sent messages to her, wishing to recover our belongings, she has refused to return anything, even though I have provided her with child support.
Now, since I have learned that a certain Neilon, a Syrian from the same village, has unlawfully taken her and married her, I submit this petition and request that both she and Neilon be brought before you, so that I may obtain justice and recover our belongings. Farewell.
