To Demetrius, the overseer and chief guard of Socnopaiou Nēsos, by Petesios, of the same village. On the 30th of Phamenoth of the year, my wife, while sleeping, along with her daughter, fell upon the house of hers. The wall fell upon them and caused the death of my wife, who was pregnant and was in danger of her life. Because of this, I lost a worthy garment worth a talent of silver and a worthy woman’s tunic worth 4 drachmas, and the other utensils in the house. Therefore, I am giving you this memorandum so that you may take care of his affairs until the rightful ones are settled. Good luck.
