To my lord brother Ammonios, Zenobios, greetings.
Demand one artaba of wheat from (?) brother Paē[…], 13th indiction. I pray for your health, my lord, for many years.
The dative with the verb 'demand' is ambiguous: the wheat may be demanded from, or on behalf of, the brother Paē[…]. The date rests on the 13th indiction mentioned in the text.
