(I beg you to send my petition to the local) chrematistai, whose clerk is Chairemon, in order that they, having selected it and summoned ..., may give judgement that he pay me the minimum amount of the expense of maintenance and other necessaries for the children from the aforesaid date, thirty-eight talents of copper, tal. 38; and I will supply the details of which this amount is made up at the trial. With regard to my claims against him I will give proper account; and if this is done, I shall obtain your succour.</ab>
