Description

Soterichos petitions to an unknown official concerning a burglary in his house.
Translation: To N.N. from Soterichos son of (Pollion?) son of Theon, of the village of Tebtunis. Some persons made a thievish incursion into my house in the village on the night before the 22nd of the present month Hathyr, taking advantage of my absence on account of my mourning for my daughter's husband, and extracting the nails from the doors carried off all that I had stored in the house, a list of which I will furnish on the stated occasion. I accordingly present this petition and beg that due inquiry should be made of the proper persons, that so I may receive your succour. Year 17 of Aurelius Antoninus Caesar the Lord, Hathyr 22.
