Report of an assault and seizure of goods near a village. Fragmentary report of an incident submitted to an official in Ptolemaic Egypt, 2nd century BC. The writers describe finding hidden items by a fig tree, a scuffle in which one Protarchos was seized and a fodder bag, oil flask and club were taken, and being chased from the village; they ask that the culprits be punished so the royal revenues suffer no loss. machine translation

[…] our suspicion was dispelled (?) […] because they are accused of practising the trade […] we do (?)
so we found the aforementioned […] hidden
at the fig tree together with Heliodoros […] as we were going up
to the village so as to hand over […] and to the
others to whom it is customary; so again […] having […]
us […] with their hands […] and others […]
and Protarchos having seized […] that he had
the fodder bag in which there was an oil flask and the club
[…] they thrust at him […] until they took away the fodder bag with the flask and the club, but we have the felt cap […] of these […]
[…] and they chased us […] of the village, some people being present. Therefore we submit to you this report
so that you may forward it to those concerned […] they may meet with
the appropriate punishment. When this has been done
we shall have obtained fair treatment and nothing of what is useful to the royal treasury will be lost.
Farewell.
