This letter gives an extract from a receipt issued by a village scribe to the oikonomos of Kollouthos, and states that the scribe had omitted in his account the corn specified in the receipt; the recipient of the letter is therefore requested to send him to be interrogated.
Lines 4–5 read as follows:
π(αρὰ) Φοιβάμμωνος πρεσβ(υτέρου)
(καὶ) οἰκ(ονόμου) τοῦ ἁγ(ίου) Κολλούθου
'… (received) from Phoibammon, presbyter and oikonomos of saint Kollouthos …'
