(…) We have been in attendance with the Basilikos Grammateus at the house of Magas till the 26th, but have not yet been summoned. We have found out the person who presented the memorandum. He is Akousilaos son of Paos, the land-surveyor of Thebes. So on the 24th I went to the hypomnematographeion and after paying 200 drachmas of bronze I obtained a view. I found that the memorandum had been presented from Mestasytmis son of Paos, the official, who is undertaking to collect from every class 400 artabas of wheat more. Not having been present at the audit of the 5th or 6th years and seeing me in daily attendance he has as it were turned coward. We have determined to abstract the memorandum in order that we may not come to grief at the audit. We have offered the hypomnematographos 12 drachmas of silver, and he has not yet made the concession, so by the grace of the gods we shall win him over? --continued on the back-- The division of the 1600 artabas has been drawn up and given to Melas. 73 2/3 artabas have been assigned to us, the komogrammateis throughout the nome being included. On the 25th therefore the 13 village scribes who sailed down in Mecheir appealed to the dioiketes, and he has returned instructions that they should be released and that the rest of the village scribes should be made to pay the 15,000. I write this for your information; do not have any anxiety. I again bid you be in attendance, and urge on Nikon also concerning the collection. If you must meet Aniketos meet him.--By the grace of the gods the audit will take place about Pachon 30. Good-bye. The 6th year, Pachon 26. Take care of your household.

I wish to lease for five years from the present 15th year of Hadrianus Caesar the Lord the one aroura of the land near the village which I previously cultivated and of which the period of the lease expired in the past 14th year, the adjoining areas being on the south the holding of Kronion, on the north a water-channel, on the west the holding of the said Kronion, on the east the land belonging to me, Tithoes, at the rent paid before, namely one artaba of barley a year without seed. If any further part of it becomes unirrigated, an allowance of the rent shall be made to me, if you consent to lease the land.
(2nd hand) To the komogrammateus. If he is a man of substance, execute the lease in the proper way, remembering that you will be held responsible and that no one ought to be a cultivator without inquiry. The 15th year of Hadrianus Caesar the lord, Mecheir 6.

To Aurelius Nemesion, agent, greeting. I have written to you on other occasions to remind you about the work, and I have heard that you have received the arakos from Amatios. So now as was ordered let the arakos and grass-arakos go alone to Tbeklutis for seed. Do not neglect the oxen or work them hard, for you know as well as I that they are underfed. For I ordered you, when I came up, to go to Nemera in the Oxyrhynchite nome to look for hay, and you have not yet told me about it, so I am at present very anxious. If you find any purchasers of the surplus donkeys get rid of as many as three. I wrote to you to send the animals laden with hay to Heron, so if you have not received the sheep for folding with you (?) do you provide the animals. If the cultivators come to you wanting seed, tell me at once in order that I may send a few measures to them from somewhere. Let me tell you that I have bought the two arouras of Regnuti[--] daughter of Labeon; so go there for their cultivation and release the laborer … (send) some flax-straw to the farmstead and stay there until you get the price of it; be sure also to take the work I gave you for the farmstead. If you fare well, get together all you can and buy there a good tunic of the value of 40 drachmas. I pray for your health.
