μετὰ τὴν ὑπατείαν τῶν δεσποτῶν ἡμῶν Θεοδοσίου τὸ ιγ καὶ Οὐαλεντινιανοῦ τὸ γ τῶν αἰωνίων Αὐγούστων, Θὼθ γ.

Φλαουίῳ Ἰωσῆφ πολιτευομένῳ καὶ ῥιπαρίῳ τῆς Ὀξυρυγχιτῶν, παρὰ Αὐρηλίου Ἀβρααμίου υἱοῦ Πόσιτος ἀπὸ τῆς αὐτῆς πόλεως.

οἱ πεδιοφύλακες κώμης Πανευεὶ παρὰ τὴν τούτων αἰτίαν ἐπηρέασαν πρὸ τριῶν τούτων ἡμερῶν ἐν νυκτὶ ἀφηλώσαντες τὴν σιδήρωσιν, τοὺς ζυγοὺς καὶ τὰς ἐκχυσίας ἀπέβησαν.

διὸ ὥστε ἀχθῆναι τοὺς ὑπευθύνους καὶ τὸ ἱκανὸν ἡμῖν ποιηθῆναι καὶ τὴν τῶν κακούργων παράστασιν γενέσθαι τοῖς νόμοις πρὸς ἀπολογίαν, ἀναγκαίως τόνδε τὸν λίβελλον ἐπιδίδωμι τῇ σῇ ἐντρεχείᾳ, ἀξιῶν τοὺς ὑπευθύνους ἀνενεχθῆναι καὶ ἐξασφαλισθῆναι, ἄχρις οὗ ἂν ἡ κρίσις γένηται.

Αὐρήλιος Ἀβραὰμ ἐπιδέδωκα.

ἐντυχία Αὐρηλίου Ἀβρααμίου Πόσιτος ἀπὸ τῆς Ὀξυρυγχιτῶν κατὰ τῶν πεδιοφυλάκων κώμης Πανευεὶα, Θὼθ γ.

English translation

After the consulship of our lords Theodosius (for the 13th time) and Valentinian (for the 3rd time), the eternal Augusti, on Thoth 3.

To Flavius Joseph, city-councillor and riparius (river/embankment official) of the Oxyrhynchites, from Aurelius Abraamios son of Positos, from the same city.

The field-guards of the village of Paneuei, acting contrary to their responsibility, committed an outrage: three days ago, at night, after tearing off the iron fittings, they removed the yokes and the water-outlets/spouts.

Therefore, in order that those responsible may be brought in, that adequate satisfaction may be made to us, and that the presentation of the wrongdoers may take place according to the laws for their defense, I necessarily submit this petition to your excellence, requesting that those responsible be reported/produced and secured, until judgment takes place.

I, Aurelius Abraam, have submitted (it).

Petition of Aurelius Abraamios son of Positos, from the Oxyrhynchites, against the field-guards of the village of Paneueia, (dated) Thoth 3.
