Translation into English

To Leucius Julius,
from Apollonius
of the city of Oxyrhynchus
of the Oxyrhynchite law.
I borrowed with Theon,
from the brother of Theon,
Arsenius, silver (drachmas)
of which I corrected the annual interest
to both Arsenius and his wife Teteuri. Now
Arsenius, having coveted
the property that belongs to me,
of the house of which he is a partner,
dared to execute
the documents of the pledge,
wishing to take possession of a
part of the house worth less than
two hundred drachmas,
instead of the drachmas of the loan
of which half
is to be paid to Theon. Furthermore,
the general of the law
having prevented Arsenius from
which we made a petition,
to accomplish nothing,
he violently urged the
proclamation. Therefore, I ask you,
my lord, if it seems good, to write
to the general of the law
to send to you both Theon
and Arsenius and the
document of the pledge,
the interests of Teteuri,
so that I may obtain
the rights from you,
O benefactor.
(hand 2) has succeeded.
