Translation into English

To the royal scribe from Amenneus and Onnophris of the embalmers, Tanaios. I have delivered to the Argive overseer regarding the honor, which was of Psenemput of Paopios, who fell in the turmoil of the embalmer from Philadelphia, so that it may be done from the royal, where no one exists, and to be fruitful in Abukin and Kelechon and to all from the duty from the year until now, [and those who have been reported to be unowned].
I have written to you and you have written to Petesouchos [the topographer], and besides this, to Phanesis the village scribe of Philadelphia.
[Since -ca.?-]
(*)
I have sent you a report, to carry out accordingly to the commands, so that nothing may fall upon the king and that we may not be hindered on the roads.
Farewell.

English Translation

To Petosiris, royal scribe, from Amenneus and Onnophris, embalmers of Tanis. We have delivered to Argeios, the overseer concerning old age, the matter of Psenepmous, son of Paopis, the embalmer from Philadelphia who fell during the disturbance, so that it may be settled from the royal treasury, to which he belongs without dispute. However, Abykis, Kelechon, and Pasis have been enjoying the produce contrary to what is proper from the second year until now, and [they] have reported that [the property] is ownerless. He wrote to you, and after you wrote to Petesouchos, the district scribe, and from him to Phanesis, the village scribe of Philadelphia. [Since -ca.?-] he wrote back a report to you, we request that you carry out [the matter] according to the orders, so that nothing may be lost to the king and we ourselves may not be troubled on the roads. Farewell.
