"I have my deposits according to the month (in drachmas) and my good management until Pachon, of which I have the symbols. And when Ptolemaios found me in the silver mint in the city of Crocodilopolis, he placed me at the table and handed me over to Menelaos, who was in the city, and he said to me that I owe nothing. He ordered that I be informed of the punishments, and when I was taken away, they found me having a silver coin and a deposit which he also took from me, all (in drachmas). Menelaos and he brought me until morning. The aforementioned things deprive me; therefore, I ask you to send for both Menelaos and Ptolemaios so that through you my rights may be fulfilled and I may receive what is called. Good luck."

"[…] having paid my monthly (dues) (drachmas) 130 and having been in good order until Pachon, for which I have the receipts. But on the 5th of Pauni, Ptolemaios found me in the silver mint in Crocodilopolis, placed me at the bank, and handed me over to Menelaos, the city official. Although I said that I owed nothing, he ordered that I be whipped. After I was searched, they found me having a lump of silver and a necklace, all of which Menelaos took away from me (worth 108 drachmas), and he kept me detained until morning. He is depriving me of the aforementioned items. Therefore, I request you to summon both Menelaos and Ptolemaios, so that through you justice may be done to me and I may recover the items in question. Farewell."
