English Translation

To King Ptolemy, greetings from Aristomachos, Macedonian of the deme Eteoneus, holder of an eighty-aroura allotment.
I am being wronged [by Dallos].
For Apollodoros, who was registered as Nagidean of the deme Chrysermos, holder of a five-hundred-aroura allotment, having built a gymnasium in [Samareia], where he also held his allotment, and having dedicated it, upon which there is an inscription stating that Apollodoros dedicated the gymnasium partly to King Ptolemy; and Apollodoros having died and left property, some of which is in Alexandria, and some in the aforementioned village, and Polykleitos being heir to the property, I myself have taken charge and hold legal responsibility on behalf of Polykleitos for the property left in Samareia, according to the arbitration of judges who decided the matters arising in the Alpha Leonidou, Hegesianax [...] through the introducer Hegesippos, in the 20th (?) year.
Even before this arbitration, I had charge [...] after Apollodoros died, and I demolished the dwelling built upon the gymnasium, which was collapsing, after Afthonetos, who was strategos, had given orders [...] for demolition in the 16th year through a petition, and having rebuilt rams on the foundations and having placed supports instead of the other broken ones [...] and having rebuilt the fallen inscription-bearing lintel of the doorway so that it might have support. Likewise, even after the arbitration, while I was continually repairing the damaged parts according to the aforementioned arbitration on behalf of Polykleitos, Dallos and the woman said to be his wife [...] having no right at all in the gymnasium itself [...] are managing it, although I am trying to evict them and through witnesses [...] claiming that the gymnasium is being destroyed [...] I have protested to him for some time. Therefore, I beg you, King, to order [Diophanes the strategos to write] to Agathokles the epistates to send Dallos to him [...] and to evict him and make him pay compensation [...]. When these things are done through you, King, [...] farewell.
(Second hand) [To Agathokles: By all means settle their dispute; if] not, send them so that they may receive justice according to the laws.
Year 1, Gorpiaios 30, Tybi 13.
Aristomachos against Dallos concerning buildings.
