[recto]
† Phib writes to his beloved brother Tape Pamoun. First of all, I greet your brotherliness in [the Lord] […]
I inform your brotherliness that, behold, your men, who were standing surety for Tape the dyer, brought him and handed him over to the dioiketes […]
saying, "We are not standing surety for him any longer; let him watch over him." And do not say, "We did not hear the matter." Say […]
up, cry out to the Lord that we did not hear. And behold, the ekthesis (assessment): we have collected it (?), we were not able to give a name to it, because how much is it to be brought back (?) […]
until you come up. If you are at leisure to come to us, come, until we collect it, and […] cast [out] […]
or else write to us what you wish me to do concerning the dosis (payment) and Tape the dyer. † Farewell in the Lord. [†]
[verso]
[†] Give it to my beloved brother Tape Pamoun † from Phib the most humble †
