Description
Ptolemaios petitions Bolanos about a burglary of his house.
Translation: To Bolanos, strategos of the divisions of Themistos and Polemon of the Arsinoite nome, from Ptolemaios son of Patron, of the village of Tebtunis. After being absent, when I returned to the village, I found my house pillaged and every thing that was stored in it carried off. Wherefore, being unable to submit to this, I apply to you and ask that this petition may be entered on the register in order that, if any one is proved to be the culprit, he may be held accountable to me. Farewell.
