Horus to his esteemed Apion greeting. Regarding Lampon the mouse-catcher I paid him for you as earnest money 8 drachmae in order that he may catch the mice at Toca. Please send me the money. I have also lent Dionysius, the chief man of Nemerae, 8 drachmae, and he has not repaid them, to which I call your attention. Good-bye. Payni 24.
Horus au très honorable Apion, salut. En ce qui concerne Lampon le chasseur de souris, je lui ai donné sur ton compte 8 dr. pour qu’il chasse les souris à Toca. Envoie-moi s’il te plaît cette somme. J’ai aussi prêté 8 dr. à Dionysios, le président de Nermera et il ne me les a pas rendues : sache-le. Porte-toi bien. Le 24 Paÿni.
