1	To Apollodoros
2	from Patous,
3	son of Pachois. I am making an offer for the lease
4	of the land of Pinyris,
5	son of Esphenis, and
6	of Berenepthis, son of Es-
7	phenis, and of Psintaes,
8	son of Esphenis, from which they
9	were released
10	(and) which was sold in auction
11	by Milon, in the size of 30 arourai,
12	situated in Tmoun-
13	psobothis. Since they
14	still owe debts
15	to the treasury, and have not
16	yet paid
17	to the royal
18	bank, I beg of you
19	to let come
20	Milon before you and
21	to order him (to transfer the land to me?), so that
22	a profit is gained for
23	the king.
24	Farewell.
