"To the general of the army, Theon, from the division of Arsinoë, of Themistes and Polemon, from Soterichus of the Nile and Didymus of Enatios, and the other elders conducting the affairs of the village of Dionysias. To the letter written by Eglektos, the steward of the lord Caesar, of which there is a copy. Greetings to Eglektos from Theon, the general of the army, of Arsinoë, of Themistes and Polemon. I have sent you the equal document given to me by Aunios Peteyrius. He states that Valerius Niger has become a tenant of substantial properties with his brother Petronius, and after the death of Petronius, Niger owes to the lord the amounts owed from both the lease and from other (rents) of fish. Therefore, take care if anything is owed to the lord to act accordingly. I wish you well. (In the year) [of] Caesar Antoninus, lord, Hadrian, to Puplius Aelius Eglektos, steward of the lord Caesar, from Aunios of Peteyrius from the village of Dionysias of Themistes, of the division of Arsinoë. Valerius Niger, having become a tenant with his brother Petronius, from mutual guarantee of substantial properties in the Arsinoite nome, after the death of Petronius, Niger has owed sufficient amounts according to the mutual guarantee and for other rents of fish. From the notes of Aelius Nemezianus, general of Themistes, it is indicated that there is a deposit in Dionysias, as much as his father owed whenever he was present, frequently owing silver coins, which Themistes and Polemon of the divisions owed regarding the village of Philotera, to fulfill all that is owed. I will inform you about nothing to be neglected in the lord's affairs for the sake of justice. May you prosper. We declare that it is the lease of the lord Caesar. (In the year) of the Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus, the August, the Most Pious, Soterichus and Didymus and the others."
