Letter from Phib to Tape Pamoun about a dyer handed over to the dioiketes TM 942787unbekanntVIII

[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 †
