[About (age) - approximately 12 -], dark-complexioned, slender, somewhat stooping, marked (scarred or tattooed).
Silas, son of Ptolemaios, a Thracian of the epigone (descendant generation).
He testifies for Automenes, against whom Kotys is bringing a case. I reside in the village of Onne in the Herakleopolite nome, and I know that after Kotys, against whom I testify, abandoned the land which he had rented from Automenes according to a written agreement from his allotment, Automenes, whom I support with my testimony, along with his sons, reclaimed in the 25th year, in the month Phamenoth, from the allotment land he had rented to Kotys, one aroura of uncultivated land, and that Automenes cultivated the aforementioned aroura and planted it [with crops or trees - text incomplete].

Year 2, Pauni 3. He brings Automenes before Kotys to the court.
