1 To the archons being in charge in the 38th year from Berenikê, daughter of Archagathos, a Jewess of the (living) in Arphroditês Polis. 5 In the year 37, month Phamenôth, Dêmêtrios son of Philôtas, a Jew of the ones residing in Peimpasbytis, sent me a letter of oath according to the ancestral law convening that he would give me in the month of Pauni of the same year the agreed price of the slave-girl Roma and the child of hers that he had bought for himself, (which is) 8 talents of copper coins. 14 (And he conveyed), should he not give me, he would pay in the following month of Epeiph (the same amount) plus the half of it (as damages) and to the royal treasury 78 silver drachmae as penalty, without any judgment or litigation; 19 and that he would give on account of rent for the nurse each month 2500 copper coins for clothing until the 15th of Phamenôth and two artabaes of wheat during 4 months as well as 2 kotylai of oil each month, and from the month of Pauni on, one artaba of wheat and 2 kotylai of oil. 26 And given that, notwithstanding all these and other (conditions) contained in the letter, Philotas (i.e. Dêmêtrios) has not paid anything until now, but has breached the ancestral law, wherefore I have been forced to provide a proof of being away from home (because of this matter) and having conveyed over to you another letter of some of the Jews of Aphroditês Polis, 34 I request, if it pleases you, to command the hypêretês to conduct Dêmêtrios here, and once you have summoned him, to compel him to pay and to recompense on the spot the amount (plus) the half of it, which makes 12 talents and … 2500 drachmae (for the clothing) and all the rest according to the oath; as far as the penalty to the royal treasury is concerned, (I request) to treat the perjurer mercilessly. 44 (2nd hand) Year 38, 29th day of the month Pachôn (traces of the endorsement of the archons?)
