Below is a copy of the memorandum presented to me by Ammonios, Sitologos of Boubastos in the division of Herakleides. Let safe-conducts be given to the persons specified and let them remain at the duty assigned to them until I arrive on the spot and give due attention to their assertions. To Alexandros, epimeletes, from Ammonios, sitologos of Boubastos in the division of Herakleides. ... presented a memorandum to Bakchon the dioiketes in which he declared that he owed [the account?] of the ... year a further amount of 2500 artabas of wheat and [would pay?] through a stated agent (?) 5000 art. of wheat, free from unsubstantial receipts or other impostures, believing that he would be cleared of the debt...
