And being unencumbered in such a way, my divine one, having seen me according to my father, as it has been said concerning the unassisted, has accomplished the matters in the field of my paternal estate according to the written agreements, having received from him whatever honor it may be.
He has spent it, making me utterly lifeless and without means; and yet he has been of great worth and honor to me, as my paternal estate in the field is concerned.
Therefore, I beseech your most pious power, if it may be possible, to establish a just and lawful judgment for me.
It is enough for those who are in need to be allowed to be in a state of poverty with my children and to be blessed with your good life and dwelling forever.

"...and being helpless in such circumstances, my paternal uncle, seeing me as described, helpless, has sold my ancestral property in the countryside to this person according to a written sale, having received from him whatever price he spent, thus rendering me utterly destitute and without means of livelihood. Yet my ancestral rural property is naturally worthy of much greater value. Therefore, I beseech your most pious authority, if it pleases you, to decree your just and lawful judgment, and to graciously grant me...
...along with my poor children, and to pray continually for your good health and lasting prosperity. For it is sufficient for those who have purchased illegally, not from the original owner, to have acquired another's property... enjoying the usufruct of such a great estate without any right...
...being oppressed by hunger... to give me only five unstamped coins... I have placed this before them for this reason. I also request your authority to grant me the trade of public grain distribution at the favorable importation of grain in the district of Hermopolis, my homeland, so that I may find, together with my children, the means to always participate with those who undertake such a trade, and to receive the wages due for this labor... so that I may live comfortably and continually pray for your invincible authority...
For it is sufficient for those who have purchased to be allowed to retain possession due to the purchase from minors... from properties illegally sold by another man who was not the original owner, especially after such a long time, to have enjoyed the usufruct of such improved property...
