Translation into English

To Heracleitus and to the [others] from Sarapion the Apollonian, of Persia. Philip, who is called the brother of my sister Sarapias, being with me and accompanying me from the land in the place called Seosipatro - ca.10 - in the place of Nikios of Prosopitos, of our [time] in the month of Pauni, having come and having left him behind, having come from the bathhouse, I found Philip having been released and holding my old fifty-drachma gold and silver coins, bringing [them] to the weights, bronze (drachmas), [and] a garment which was worth bronze (drachmas) B. Therefore, I ask you to register my application for a transaction so that, if I take hold of it, I will place it upon you. Be fortunate. (Year) 15.

English Translation

To Herakleitos and those [with him],
[unclear lines]
from Sarapion, son of Apollonios, a Persian.
Philippos, the so-called son of my sister Sarapias, who was with me and sailing together [with me(?)] from the countryside,
in the place called the gambling-house of Seosipatros,
and while we were anchored at the place of Nikias of Prosopitis,
on the 28th(?) of the month Pauni,
when I went to bathe and left him behind,
upon returning from the bathhouse, I found Philippos had departed, taking with him my gold necklace worth fifty drachmas of old gold,
and two silver bracelets weighing 22 staters, copper coins worth 300 drachmas, and a garment worth 2 drachmas of copper.
Therefore, I request that you officially record my complaint,
so that, if I apprehend him, I may bring him before you.
Farewell. Year 15, Epeiph 7.
