Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete. The priests (pastophoroi) of Amenophis are addressing King Ptolemy, complaining about injustices committed by a certain Antipater, who is apparently in charge of guarding or overseeing the region around Thebes. They specifically mention being deprived of revenues ("ἐκφορίων") that rightfully belong to them.
