Title Letter from Pais to Zenon
Summary Pais the carpet-weaver had already presented to Zenon a denunciation of his fellow-workman Nechthembes and now adds some proofs of his knavery. The carpet weighed yesterday had been damped to make it heavier, and it has turned out to be under the proper weight; he has also curtailed the length and breadth of the carpets, so that they are too small for a couch; and when they were to be weighed, he put some additional material into the scale; for all which things he deserves to have his hands cut off. Morteover he has corrupted the other weavers; and, if Zenon will allow the test, Pais with the same material will make sixteen carpets to their fourteen. When Nechthembes heard of the denunciation, he atempted to run away, but Pais arrested him and sent him to prison. And these facts he has disclosed to prevent Zenon being cheated and for his own greater credit.

ὑπόμνημα Ζήνωνι παρὰ Πάιτος
ταπιδοφάντου(*). περὶ ὧν ἔδωκά σοι περὶ
Νεχθεμβέως τοῦ ταπιδοφάντου(*), ὅς ἐστιν
στασιαστής, ἐφάνη ἐπʼ ἀληθείας ὅτι νενόσφισται
5ἀπὸ τῶν ἀμφιτάπων. ὁ δὲ σταθεὶς ἐχθὲς ἔτι ὑγρὸς
ἦν καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐλάσσω μν(ῶν) ϛ. καὶ ἄλλα δὲ
ἔτι τούτων ἀτοπώτερα ἀπείργασται, περὶ ὧν
ἐὰν βούλῃ ἐπισκέψασθαι, δίκαιόν ἐστιν τὰς
χέρας(*) αὐτοῦ ἀποκόψαι. ἔλασσον γὰρ πεποί-
10ηκεν πήχεως τὸ μῆκος τῶν ἀμφιτάπων
καὶ τὸ πλάτος παλαιστῶν δύο , ὥστε μὴ
ἁρμόσαι κλείνηι(*)· καὶ ὅτε ἤμελλον στῆσαι
τοὺς ἀμφιτάπους, ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸν
ζυγὸν καὶ τὸν στήμονα. οὐ δίκαιον οὖν ἐστιν
15οὕτως εἶναι. [πρ]ὸς τῶι οὖν ταῦτα ἀπεργά-
σασθαι καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς προσδιέφθειρεν
ταπιδοφάντας(*). εἰ οὖν σοι δοκεῖ καὶ ἐάσῃς με
δειγματίσαι πρὸς αὐτούς, τῶν ιδ ἀμφι-
τάπων δώσω σοι ἀμφιτάπους πλείους δύο .
20ἐπεὶ δὲ ἔγνω ὅτι κατελέγχεται ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ,
ἤμελλεν ἀναχωρῆσαι ἐχθές. συνέλαβον δὲ
αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπήχθη εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον.
ταῦτα δὲ ἐνεφάνισά σοι ὅπως ἂν μηθείς σε
παρακρούηται καὶ ἐγὼ πολυωρίας τύχω.
25εὐτύχει.
