+ Someone came to me and said that you (pl.) have dismissed him from a field-share and assigned it to someone else. This is an injustice! I have told you (pl.) on another occasion: “Do not remove and do not reassign.” The place (i.e., the disputed field-share) where the man was, leave him there. + Give it (i.e., the document) to the village headmen of Tin. + From John, the chief attendant. +
