From the notes of Theon, the general of Prosōpitōs (year) k of the god Hadrian. When Nāarōtos approached, being called Monthaurius and Peebotos, both of the mother Taphesīous, at the presence of Aaronnēs Pandveos and Imouthes Horus, the general Aaronnēs said: "What were you saying about these things?" They replied: "Dining with me, they departed at night from the banquet and upon returning, they claimed that the vineyards of Imouthos had been cut down, those around Nāarōn saying they were being slandered by him," said the general. "Then he did not come to you?" they said. "Yes, nothing of that sort has been heard from us," said the general. "If you had a clear conscience, why were you sought in the diagnosis of the matter until you were summoned?" They replied: "We were working in a foreign estate," said the general. "And the reason for which you were affected in the estate was stated by Aaronnēs." And having allowed them to be questioned, he said: "Confess the truth." While they persisted that the vineyards had not been cut down, the general asked: "Where is the chief steward?" When his brother Imouthes was indicated to be present, for he was ill, the general said to Imouthes: "These two are sufficient for you to be present before the highest general when he takes up the matter."

From the memoranda of Theon, who was strategos (governor) of Prosopitis, in the 20th year of the divine Hadrian, on the 24th of Epeiph.
When Naaros, also called Monthaurios, and Peebos, both sons of the mother Taphesieus, approached, in the presence of Haronnesis son of Pandbeus and Imouthes son of Horos, the strategos said to Haronnesis: "What did you say concerning these men?" He replied: "While dining with me, they left the banquet at night, and upon returning, they claimed to have cut down the vines of Imouthes." When those around Naaros said they were being falsely accused by him, the strategos asked: "Were you not then with him?" They replied: "Yes, but he heard nothing of the sort from us." The strategos said: "If you had a clear conscience, why, when summoned for the investigation of the matter, did you not appear until you were formally accused?" They replied: "We were abroad, working on an estate." The strategos said: "Haronnesis has stated the reason why you harmed the estate." And having ordered them to be reprimanded, he said: "Confess the truth." When they persisted in denying that they had cut down the vines, the strategos asked: "Where is the chief inspector (archephodos)?" When it was indicated that his brother Imouthes was present, since the inspector himself was ill, the strategos said to Imouthes: "Let these two men provide you sufficient guarantee, so that they may appear before the most excellent epistrategos (chief governor) when he investigates the matter."
