But since Philoumene keeps harassing me at every turn, I have been compelled to come forward, and I ask you to order that a letter be written to the collector of foreigners' debts (?) of the Oxyrhynchite nome, to deliver to Zenarion and to Heron a copy of this memorandum, so that they may keep us undisturbed and untroubled with regard to the aforesaid debt and repay it, or else know that, if anything is exacted from me for it, I shall have the right of execution against them and against whatever property of theirs I find in the locality, both grain land and other.
