English Translation

To Diophanes, one of equal rank with the kinsmen and strategos,
from Tryph[ -ca.?- ],
commander of cavalry among the settlers.
Unlawfully and contrary to all justice, Amenopis and Taesis,
from the village of Apias in the division of Themistos,
having forcibly entered my house,
which is in the same village, together with Thaubastis
and Eserchaphis, who was appointed by me,
inflicted many blows upon my people who were inside,
each of whom is listed individually below,
and having taken possession of these,
they have occupied (the house), holding to no justice,
but employing violence.
Therefore, I request you to write urgently to the epistates (official),
to bring them before you, so that I may obtain justice from you,
most honored strategos.
Farewell.
