From ˀAršama to Naḥtḥôr, Kenzasirma and his colleagues. And now, (one) named Peṭôsirî, plenipotentiary, my servant sent to me. He says thus: “There is (one) nam[ed] Pamûn, [my father. When]
there was the unrest in Egypt, that (one) perished. And his domain, of 30 a(rdab) seed capacity, which (the one) named Pamûn my father had been holding-as-heir—th[at] was therein abandoned since all our household personnel pe[rished.]
The domain of Pamûn my father (2) [was not given] (3) to me. Let one take thought of me. Let them give (it) to me. Let me hold-(it)-as heir.” Now, Arsa[mes] says thus: “If it is so according to these words which Peṭôsirî sent [to me that]
that (one) named (3) [Pamûn,] (4) his father, when there was the unrest in Egypt, perished with [his household] personnel [and] the domain of that Pamûn his father, of 30 a(rdab) seed capacity—(that) that was abandon[ed and]
then I have given this allotment of Pamûn (the father) to Peṭôsirî (the son). You (administrators) notify him. He shall take possession(-status). And the ilku-tax:
in accordance with how previously Pamûn his father was crushing, he shall crush to the estate belonging to me.
From ˀAršama to Naḥtḥôr the official, [Kenza]sirma and his colleagues the [account]ants who are in Egypt.
(Demotic) About the fields of Pamûn which I have given to Peṭôsirî.
