English Translation

[Lykomeides] to Hippodamos, greetings. Chrysippos has registered Polemon, son of Antiochos, as owing zytika (taxes or dues) from previous years, amounting to 500 drachmas, concerning which we have previously written, so that [...] it may be collected. If he disputes this, having provided guarantors, let him be judged liable for double the amount. Therefore, write to us quickly about the arrangement you have made. If not, you will reckon [...] the money to the scribe. Farewell. Year 18, month Daisios.

Notes

• ζυτικά (zytika): Likely refers to a type of tax or dues.
• δραχμὰς φ (500 drachmas): The Greek numeral φ represents 500.
• ἐγγύους καταστήσας τοῦ διπλοῦ κρίθηι: Legal language indicating that if the debtor disputes the claim, he must provide guarantors and risk paying double if found liable.
• ἔτους ιη Δαισίου: "Year 18, month Daisios" (a Macedonian calendar month).
