Description

Marres asks another Marres to find him land at Kerkeosiris for the maintenance of himself and the cattle.
Translation: Petesouchos son of Marres, cultivator of Kerkesephis, to Marres son of Petosiris … his brother, greeting. You must hear about our plain having been inundated; we have not so much as food for our cattle. Please therefore in the first place to give thanks to the gods and secondly to save many lives by seeking out in the neighborhood of your village five arouras for our maintenance so that we may thence obtain food. If you do this I shall be eternally obliged to you. Good-bye.
