Pais to Zenon greeting. Know that I came out of prison on the 21st.  I found the oeconomus of the nomarch sitting beside it. Without deducting pay he took from me the current collections and seized the entire amount as security. Consider how we are to arrange matters with the oeconomus and do not neglect it. From the 23d there is no water for the bathhouse. And Horos is posting against me four waterless days from the 15th onward. But I denied that I had done these things. Until Diokles reports to you, he is gone for water.
Good-bye. Thoth 23.
[Verso:] To Zenon.
