Translation into English

To Titus Aterius Nepoti,
[to the] governor of Egypt,
from Sarapoutos Petnētos of Tithoitos,
of those from the village of Karanidos of Arsinoe.
My husband Peteeus from the same village
passed away, leaving behind
two orphaned children, Theona
and [
]
a daughter and food
properties and real estate,
all of which are being violently
claimed by [
] my brother of the deceased.
Furthermore, he himself entered
[the house] at night
and took everything that was in the house
[
] by force.
From there, they brought forth the chief of the village
[who] wrote down that the aforementioned
brother is the one who has come.
Therefore, I have made this request
[
] to hear my plea
[
] to [
]
so that you may be benefactor.
[May you] take care of this.

English Translation

To Titus Haterius Nepos,
Prefect of Egypt,
from Sarapous, son of Petes, grandson of Tithoes,
from the village of Karanis in the Arsinoite nome.
My husband, Peteeus, from the same village,
has died, leaving behind two orphaned children, Theon
and [...],
and some provisions, household goods,
plots of land, and a dwelling.
All these things are being violently claimed
by the brother of my aforementioned husband.
Moreover, he himself entered the house at night
and carried off everything in the house [...].
Therefore, I brought the village chief,
who certified in writing that the aforementioned brother
was the one who had entered.
For this reason, I have made this petition to you,
so that you may hear my case
and that I may receive justice.
Farewell.
