He took me aboard and I sailed together with them
as far as the passage near the harbor of Aphroditopolis.
But when a wind arose and the sails were above the tent,
it happened that the right side of the ship was flooded and the ship sank because of this.
I swear by King Ptolemy and Arsinoe Philadelphos, the sibling gods,
and by the Savior gods, their parents, that the above-written statements are true.

“… [fragmentary] … he asked … him to draw up (the document) …”
“He took me on and I sailed down together with these people as far as the crossing by the harbor, the Aphroditopolite (harbor). But when a wind arose, and the ‘sails/rigging’ were above the tent/awning, it happened that the right side-wall of the ship was shut/closed and the ship sank because of this.”
“And I swear by King Ptolemy and Arsinoe Philadelphus, the Sibling Gods, and by the Savior Gods who are their parents, that the things written above are true.”
