To Apollonios, also called Ptolemaios,
strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division,
from Psenamounis, son of Pakysis,
from the village of Karanis.
On the night leading into the 22nd of the current month Phamenoth,
my mare, wheat-colored in appearance,
while being led to watering, disappeared.
I immediately reported this to the village officials.
Since up to now she has not yet been found,
I submit this petition and request that it be registered officially,
so that, if she is found, my claim to her may remain valid.
I, Psenamounis, vine-dresser, have submitted this.
Year [..] of Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Caesar the lord, Phamenoth 30.
