Translation

x+1 He should take an oath before Satis, the Great, mistress of Elephantine:
x+2 ‘Those are the 20½ (artabas) emmer which were given into the hand of Samaus.
x+3 He has not given to me emmer therefrom except those to which he will agree.’
x+4 And Samaus shall take a vow(?) to him for the amounts of emmer.
x+5 He shall take an oath [[///]]: ‘The birds
x+6 which are in the stable(?) of Chnoum among the geese and
x+7 which are (split) between me and Samaus: I have not taken away any
x+8 bird from them. I have not caused (a bird) to be taken away except that to which he
x+9 will agree.’ He shall take an oath: ‘The amounts of emmer which were given
x+10 for the geese feeding of the geese of Samaus into my hand:
x+11 I have not taken away emmer therefrom. I have not caused to be taken away
x+12 emmer from the emmer, which was being intended(?) for the food of the geese and the fowl
x+13 of the divine offering, except of that emmer to which we will agree.
x+14 And he shall take the oath at the 30th of Mecheir.’
x+15 And Samaus shall take an oath for him [[///]]
x+16 of Chnoum-the-breadwinner: ‘If I leave
x+17 Elephantine without you having a partnership agreement
x+18 with me (...) to give a thing to you which occurred for me outside. There is no
x+19 fraud and falsehood within the oath.’
