3	Junior, son of Estphenis. a) Considering that it happened that our one field was given (away) against repayment,

6	which became his burden concerning byssus and the temple disposal of the 23rd regnal year
7	[and (concerning)] Berenebthis, son of Estphenis for the same value of byssus
8	of the 2nd and 19th regnal year, also his rest; b) (and considering that it happened) [that] it (scil. the field) was given away against repayment, in order to complete 16 silver (deben):
9	Thus we may request from you: Considering that it happened
10	[that] we have paid our amounts of money together with their interest rate with cash to the bank
11a	of Pharaoh within 60 days according to the order
11b	of Pharaoh,
12	so it is fine, if you may do (the following): Compose in our presence a letter
13	of fixtures and fittings in order that it may happen. If that will happen, than we shall not have been damaged.
14	Issued by Estphenis, son of Pinyris. 25th regnal year, 19th of Paophi.
