APIS Translation (English)

Polemon to Menches, greeting. As it is decided that the epimeletes should proceed at daybreak on the 15th to Berenikis and on the 16th pass by the village on the way to Theogonis, endeavor to have all arrears owing from the neighborhood of the village in order, so that you may not detain him and thus incur no little expense. Good-bye. The 3rd year, Payni 11. (Addressed on the verso) To Menches, village scribe
