On the 14th of Ab, that is day 19 of Pachons, year 25 of Artaxerxes the king, said Peu
son of Paḥe/Pakhoi, a builder of Syene the fortress, to Mibtahiah daughter of Mahseiah son of Jedania,
an Aramean of Syene of the detachment of Varyazata, about the suit which we made in Syene, a litigation about silver
and grain and clothing and bronze and iron — all goods and property — and (the) \wifehood/ document. Then, the oath
came upon you and you swore for me about them by Sati the goddess. And my heart was satisfied
with that oath which you made for me about those goods and I withdrew from you from
this day and forever. I shall not be able to institute against you suit or process — (against) you or son
or daughter of yours — in the name of those goods about which you swore for me. If I institute against you
suit or process, or a son of mine or a daughter of mine institute against you (suit) in the name of that oath, I, Pîa — or my children —
shall give to Mi[b]ṭaḥyah silver, 5 karsh by the stone(-weight)s of the king, without suit or without process,
and I am withdrawn from every suit or process. Wrote Peṭeese son of Nabunathan this document
in Syene the fortress at the instruction of Pîa son of Paḥê/Paḥoî. The witnesses herein: (2nd hand) Nabûraˁê son of Nabûnatan;
(3rd hand) Lûḥî son of Mannukî; (4th hand) ˁûsnahar son of {Dwma| Rwma}; (5th hand) Nabûraˁê son of Vishtana.
Document (sealing) of withdrawal which Pîa wrote for Mibṭaḥ]ya[h.
