Menches, komogrammateus of Kerkeosiris in the division of Polemon, to Horos, greeting. When I was in Ptolemais Euergetis for the delivery of the requested documents, we happened to hear that the crown tenants of the village had gone away to the temple at Narmouthis. I considered it right to make a supplementary report so that you know. Good-bye. The 4th year, Phaophi 20. (Addressed on the verso) To Horos.
