"Mengeis, the clerk of Kerkeos, of the region of Polemon, greetings to you.
In the year of Horus, which has passed with me along with Apollodorus of the same olive oil, at the same place of Soukhion.
I have found a large amphora of leeks, together with Apollodorus in the house of Marrheus of Samothrace, hidden in dung.
This and the furniture of the mentioned house, of which the total is under consideration.
The house of Ptolemy has descended to the same Soukhion regarding the inquiry with Amenneus.
The house of Marrheus, along with the furniture, is to be noted.
I have been informed about the matters concerning which Apollodorus has also given us the written memorandum: I report it.
Farewell (of the year)."
