From Arsames to Artavant. I send you abundant (greetings of) welfare and strength. And [now], (one) named [Psa]mshek son of Aḥḥap[i], my servant, complained
here. He says thus, "When I was coming [t]o [my] lord... [slaves of Aḥḥapi my father whom I ... [...]
after me to my lord [1] named Psamshekḥasi [son of PN], 1 [PN son of ...]twy, [1] Aḥḥapi son of P[...],
1 son of Psamshek, [1] Pashubasti son of Hor [1 PN son of PN], 1 [PN] son of Wahpremahi, [1 PN son of PN]:
all (told) 8 persons took my property and fled from me. Now, if it please my lord, let (word) be sent to Artavant [that those slaves whom]
I shall present before him: the chastisement which I shall issue-an-order for them be done to them". Now, Arsames says [thus]: [P]samshe[kḥasi]
and his colleagues, the slaves of Aḥḥapi, whom P[sa]mshek will present before you t[here] – you, issue an order: the chastise[ment] which Psamshek will i[ssue]
an order to be done to them — that shall be done to them".
From Arsames [the] pr[ince to Artavant who is in E]gypt.
