Epimachus to Theon, the most beloved steward, greetings.
I have sold to Polydeuces, son of Ammonius, from the documents of the first and second year of the reign of Caesar Antoninus, the lord, the arta- bas, as of the arta- bas (drachmas) of 500, according to the measure of Apollo, as of the sixth month of Chysis, from which I had silver drachmas of two shekels.
If he owes me anything, I wish you well.
The governor Maximus of Oeubius said: I have decided this twice regarding the ten-year period and to decide.
They will be imposed upon Leonidas and the matters concerning them will be with the appointed time, that they are not the cause of the events.
Sulpicius Similis said: Give me the account of the two drachmas.
To Claudius Neocydes, the most excellent judge, from Epimachus the younger, Dionysius of the Oxyrhynchus city. Theon, son of Diogenes of the same city, and his son Diogenes, having been appointed by me for some time, have seized not a few wheat and silver capitals from my remaining possessions and neither have they arranged for me any accounts nor have they given the debts owed to me, acting with audacity and violence. Therefore, since the lord has commanded me to depart for the sake of the Kopton for three years, I ask, if it seems good to you, to write to the general of the Oxyrhynchus to compel those around the steward to come to me, giving me the debts owed and the accounts, that you may be benefactor.
The steward and he inquired how long ago he had moved. Castor the accountant; four years ago. Sulpicius Similis; a year ago, therefore today you do not demand twenty talents owed to you. Go on. Of Julius Maximianus, the general.
(In the year) of the lord, of Hadrian Caesar, Pauni. Diogenes said to his mother, the opponents Philomena, to demand, since they are her heirs. Themistocles and Heron said that the so-called matter had occurred in the year of Domitian and that Philomena had died, never having been sold by Diogenes, Maximianus said: You bring up an old matter; Philomena had something against you, therefore you did not demand her while she was alive.
Later, Theon, having departed from his house, I went to the archon, wishing to take enough of his office until the decision and these things were reported to me as many as he had previously done in the presence of the archon and many others of the village, therefore I demand the account to be made and to have it in the record, lest it be against his announcements, all that I have pending in the matter, that you may be benefactor.
