To Dionysios, the royal secretary, from Pachatos, the royal farmer, from the village of Tintireos, concerning the farming portion of the land. When I came down, write to Kydias to arrange the portion of land that I farm. I will find the Seleucid arch-farmers from Tintireos distributing the sheep in it into the fields of grass. The sheep that have been previously distributed for the winter. Therefore, when I receive from you, I wish to hand over the sheep to Psenobastis and Erasuthin, the guards of the same. Seleukos and his son Ptolemaios and the son-in-law Herius, having broken the sword of those from Aspheos, have driven us to flight. Therefore, I ask you to make the appropriate statement. Good luck. To Kydias, the general. From the memorandum given to us by Pachatos, the royal farmer, concerning the village of Tintireos, which is said to have been completed by the violence of Seleukos and the other signatories. The copy is under consideration. If it seems appropriate, arrange it. Year 23 of Pharmouthi. Year 27. Memorandum of Machatos, the royal farmer, concerning the distributed fields.

To Dionysios, the royal scribe, from Pachates, royal farmer from the village of Tinteris, cultivating the portion of Eu[...] of the allotment [...] concerning the great Poïs. After I had gone down, write to Kydias that he may arrange to assign to the portion which I cultivate from the previously mentioned allotment of Pharmouthi, on the 25th of Pharmouthi of the 23rd year. I find that the sheep of Seleukos, the chief guard from Tinteris, are grazing there, occupying sixteen arouras of grassland [...] and had already grazed there during the winter. Therefore, when I took along Psenobastis and Erasythis, guards of the same place, intending to hand over the sheep to them, Seleukos, his son Ptolemaios, and his son-in-law Herieus, among those from Asphis, drew a sword and attacked us until we were forced to flee. Therefore, I request you to take appropriate action. Farewell.
To Kydias, the strategos. Concerning the memorandum given to us by Pachates, royal farmer from the village of Tinteris, regarding the violence alleged to have been committed by Seleukos and the others mentioned, a copy is attached. If it seems appropriate, order him to be assigned.
