Translation into English

To those who are in charge in the year of Nicander the Trifonian Jew. Andromachus, son of Nicander the Jew, owes me (of wheat) (of arta) the taxes of the land which I rented from my father in the lot of Andronikos (of acres) in the year in which he gave me a letter of paternal oath, and until now has not given me, the time of the return having passed and still more having occurred, while I have completed the taxes from those who are in the estate, no account being made of the one who is being called, but wandering and the whole not coming into my hands, but now appearing upon the judgment of you, I ask to call him.

English Translation

To those who are in office in the 35th year, from Nikanor son of Tryphon, a Jew. Andromachos son of Nikanor, a Jew, owes me eleven artabas of wheat as rent for the land which he leased from my father in the allotment of Andronikos, three arouras, for the 32nd year, for which he gave me a written oath according to ancestral custom. Up to now he has not repaid me, although the time for repayment has passed and even more time has elapsed. I myself have paid the rent from my own resources, and the accused has given no account, but has been evasive and has not appeared at all. Now that he has appeared before your tribunal, I request that you summon him.

Year 35, Pauni 14. From Nikanor to Andromachos.
