On the nineteenth [day] I received the letters of my good master, which Theodore the shipmaster delivered to me, in which I found a letter written by my master to the most magnificent lady, my mistress. Having received these, I myself delivered them to my most magnificent mistress. And above all, I gave thanks to the Lord God, the master of all, because He has trampled down the enemies...
...and he knows, as I have written previously, of much difficulty... one hundred solidi. And fifty [solidi] of grain, and I am about to receive the completion of the required [amount] of solidi... [and] pulse from the regions of Pauli... to buy barley...
...but the additional grain is hindered until now from being sent, because the measure has not yet been placed...
...for indeed five allies and collectors who were demanded by me have appealed, some saying "we have paid and owe nothing," others saying "we owe nothing except the payment for the month of Pharmouthi"...
...therefore, master, quickly indicate to me the form you command to be given to both parties, so that I may establish them and be able to demand the payment...
...my master will judge me. For I have already told him this very thing, and he said he was unable... [to compel] Menas the collector to render the account because... since you also commanded Peter... the boaster... my master knows the diligence of each one of us.
