ἀνελθεῖν ἀπὸ ἧς ἔχω ἅλω
περὶ τὸ Πεκύσιος Ἰσιεῖον ἀπηνέγκαντο λῃστρικῶι τρόπωι εἰς πυροῦ ἀρτάβας δ,
ὁμοίως καὶ ἀφʼ ἧς ἔχω περὶ τὸ αὐτὸ
Ἰσιεῖον ἄλλης ἅλω ἧς γεωργῶ
βασιλικῆς γῆς εἰς ἄλλας πυροῦ ἀρτάβας δ.
καθυπονοῶν οὖν εἰς Σαραπίωνα
ἁλωνοφύλακα καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους τοὺς ἐκεῖ
κοιταζομένους, ὧν χάριν ἠνομημένος προσαγγέλλων, ἀξιῶ συντάξαι ἐκζητήσαντας τοὺς αἰτίους
καταστῆσαι ἐπὶ σέ, ὅπως ἐγὼ μὲν
τὰ εἰλημμένα κομίσωμαι, οἱ δὲ φανησόμενοι αἴτιοι τύχωσι ὧν προσήκει
πρὸς ἐπίστασιν ἄλλων, ἵνʼ ὦ ἀντειλημμένος.

[…] to go up (?) from the threshing floor which I have near the Iseum of Pekysis, they carried off in the manner of robbers up to 4 artabas of wheat, and likewise from the other threshing floor which I have near the same Iseum, of the royal land which I farm, another 4 artabas of wheat.
Suspecting therefore Sarapion the threshing-floor guard and the others who sleep there, on account of which, having been wronged, I report this and ask you to order that the culprits be sought out and brought before you, so that I may recover what was taken, and those who are shown to be guilty may receive what is fitting, as a deterrent to others, so that I may be helped.
Farewell.
