Theodorus to the guards at Talae, greeting. Petosiris the toparch and Petimouthes the topogrammateus have written to me that they have sold to Philammon out of the holding of Philoxenus at Talae 3 2/3 arourae of grass-aracus land. Take the komogrammateus therefore with you, and measure the area to him, but do not part with any more, knowing that you will be held responsible. Good-bye. The 15th year, Tubi 2. (Grenfell & Hunt)
