To Apollonius.
To send out. (Year) 16 Tybi.
To King Ptolemy and Queen Cleopatra, my sister, and Queen Cleopatra, my wife, greetings to the gods Euergetes.
Petesouchos Paloutos, royal farmer of those from Sebennytos of the Heracleid district of the Arsinoite nome. I am wronged by Herchimius of the Haruote and Phaneithus, the son of those from the Heracleopolite.
For I have properties in the same village of my ancestral house and of the neighboring places that have been taken from me, and I have been prevented from building by me, Socmene of Pasion, in which I was contracted from these.
Therefore, having made the appeal to you, I ask you, if it seems good, to order my petition to Polemarchus the general, so that, having sent them, if it is as I write, it may be foreseen, as I will obtain the just.
When this happens, I will be in possession of what is from you.
