English Translation

Polemon to Harimouthes, greetings. Concerning the receipts (or tokens), we have written to Kriton and Kallikles so that it may be done as you instructed. Know, however, precisely that no one will pay you the full price of one drachma for the barley about which you have written; for indeed those from Kerkion already have it recorded in the accounting office. Farewell. Year 24, Epeiph 21.
