Translation into English

To Akylas, the most powerful general, from Theomnestus Horus of those from Psinemouthe:

I have a common and indivisible house with the minor places towards my cousins Petemounin Pisaitos and Taesin Sansnōtos,

of which the majority of parts are imposed upon me; since they are taking advantage of me,

the elders impose upon me parts of the house and the minor places, I ask you, the lord, to be a judge.

In the year of Pharmouthi, the 19th, I have some matters concerning the parts of the house and the minor places, I ask for a judge and a logothete.

You have a judge.

English Translation

To Subatianus Aquila, the most excellent epistrategos,
from Theomnestos, son of Horos, from the village of Psinemouthes:
I have a house in common and undivided, along with vacant plots,
with my nephews Petemounis, son of Pisais, and Taesis, son of Sansnos,
of which the greater parts belong to me.
Since therefore they are taking advantage of me, oppressing me [unclear text],
depriving me of the parts belonging to me, an elderly and childless man,
because my sons have died, I request you, the lord judge [unclear text].
[unclear text]
Year 9, Pharmouthi 19.
Having a dispute with certain persons concerning shares of the house and vacant plots,
he requests a judge and a logothetes (official scribe/accountant).
You have a judge [unclear text] Pane or Philai [unclear text].
