He took me aboard and I sailed together with them
as far as the passage near the harbor of Aphroditopolis.
But when a wind arose and the sails were above the tent,
it happened that the right side of the ship was flooded and the ship sank because of this.
I swear by King Ptolemy and Arsinoe Philadelphos, the sibling gods,
and by the Savior gods, their parents, that the above-written statements are true.
