[recto] Leodamas to Lysimachos, greeting. To whom did you write and give the (account of) seed for the confiscated (?) holdings under surety? For I do not find it in the books. So write out the seed for them again and send it to me at once, and give it to the man from Antipatros, or if you do not find him, give it to someone else, so that I am not prevented from drawing up the account. ⟦Farewell. Year 30, Mesore 28.⟧ [verso] and likewise measure (?) […] [… 4 lines lost …] Farewell. Year 30, Mesore 28.
