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.

English Translation

To Lucius Julius [ - ca.10 - ]
from Apollonius [ - ca.10 - ]
of those from the city of Oxyrhynchus,
of the Oxyrhynchite nome.
I, Asychios, borrowed together with Theon from Arsiesis, the brother of Theon, silver (drachmas),
of which I have regularly paid the annual interest to Arsiesis and to his wife Teteuris. But now,
Arsiesis, having cast his eyes upon the share of the house belonging to me, of which he is my co-owner,
has dared to execute documents of mortgage against it,
wishing to seize possession of a share of the house worth more than two hundred drachmas
for a lesser amount of silver (drachmas), instead of the two hundred drachmas of the loan,
of which half falls upon Theon. Moreover,
although the strategos of the nome, following my petition, forbade Arsiesis
to take any action, he disregarded the order, acting violently.
Therefore, I request you, my lord, if it seems good to you, to write to the strategos of the nome
to summon before you both Theon and Arsiesis and Teteuris, who received the interest,
so that I may obtain justice from you and thus be benefited.
(hand 2) Farewell.
