I assist the first friends and the general of Thebes, on behalf of Berenice, daughter of Dorotheus, from Ptolemaida. Being wronged by Andronikos, one of the inhabitants of the same city, I have presented a petition to the king regarding the land that belongs to me, which was purchased from Pana of Aratus of Panopolis, who is adjacent to my land. He has written that it should be geometrically measured in his presence by the political surveyor. It was necessary for him to be sent to you regarding this matter. After this, I took possession of the boundaries that were marked and I demanded that he be sent to you. Concerning the writing of Athaman, I stood before the overseer to inquire about our situation. He ordered Tychon to delineate the land for me. After the opponent voluntarily made the demarcation, Athamas, wishing to learn about the matters stated in the examination, wrote to Tychon to bring it back. He also reluctantly agreed to do so, as if the boundaries were not present on the land and he was altering them, although it was customary to examine the boundaries and the number of damages if anyone should wish. The opponent has no adjacent royal land of such a nature, but in another area of his land, which is of the same type, he has land that is in my possession. Therefore, when he transgresses the judgment given to me as stated, and he delineates the royal land, he has dedicated to the god Soter the first fruits from my public purchase. Therefore, I ask you, since you always distribute justice to all, to arrange for us to come to you, and if it is as I write, having been examined as true, compel him to fulfill what has been demonstrated regarding the rope-pulling or to delineate for me the land that has been declared in my judgment. For when this happens, I will be confirmed.
