To Alexander, the politarch, and to the government, from Petavtos, the Jew of Philip, who is being held in custody. Since I happen to be worthy, having been detained, and having taken a trial of custody for a sufficient number of days, being destroyed in a foreign land, and not having the necessities, I request, begging, that you do not overlook me, but if it seems good to you, to arrange for my release from the custody.
