"I am wronged by Horus, the son of Diogenes the accountant. For in the year of the Mesore, the one who is being accused, Horus, having come to my house while I was away, asked my wife for the symbols, so that she might deliberate, she being the one who believed in him, and he took the symbols into his own possession and has them. After these things, when I returned to the village and had spoken to him about the symbols, he did not return them to me, holding them contrary to what is right. Therefore, I have made an appeal to you for refuge, until the moneylenders come to visit Horus regarding these matters, and even if I write such things, it is a time for deliberation."

I am wronged by Horos, [son of Dioge(?)]nes, the accountant. For on the intercalary day of [the month] Mesore of the aforementioned year, the accused Horos came to my house while I was absent and asked my wife for the receipts (symbols), in order to make an accounting. She, trusting him, gave him the receipts. He took the receipts away to his own house and still has them. After this, when I returned to the village and demanded back the receipts, he did not return them to me, unlawfully retaining them. Therefore, having recourse to you, I request that until the financial officials arrive on site, Horos be examined concerning these matters, and if it is as I write, at the appropriate time of accounting...
