Then, having become a partner, he assisted him. Since then
having encountered you, you were arranging for him to be placed with
Sarapion.
Since he was not established
I ask you to compel
Sarapion to place

To the strategos,
From Thaesis of the village of Ch[ - - - ], of those from Philadelphia.
I submitted to you a memorandum against Tesenouphis, the treasurer of the private treasury of Antiphilus, who claims that I deposited with him in the treasury 293 artabas of wheat, [ - - - ] that I myself agreed to have them transferred to him, on condition that he would repay them in the 27th year. And wishing to apprehend him, I promised and he wrote a letter to the toparch [ - - - ] of the district of Ptolemaios (the hundred-aroura holder), in whose name I also cultivate the land. You wrote to Sarapion, the overseer. Then, having confessed, he was detained. Therefore, when I approached you, you ordered Sarapion to bring him forward. Since this has not been done, I request you, if you please, to compel Sarapion, who is present in my area, to produce the man, so that I may obtain justice.
Farewell.
(Second hand) [ - - - ] Since there is an accusation of deposit [ - - - ] I pray [ - - - ] it is necessary for her to have the remaining (artabas of wheat) 293 [ - - - ] in the 27th year [ - - - ].
