Petition about forcible eviction from part of a house courtyard. The end of a petition from the 3rd century BC in which the writer complains that a man who had leased out the upper parts of a house moved into rooms in the courtyard, built a staircase into a neighbouring house, sold off the petitioner's property to another Egyptian for gain, and forcibly expelled the petitioner from his parts of the courtyard. The petitioner asks the official to summon the man, investigate, and force him to vacate. machine translation

[… ? lines lost …] [… 4 lines lost …] […]παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐγμεμίσθωκεν τὰ ἄνω μέρη, αὐτὸς δὲ εἰσῳκίσται εἰς δύο οἰκήματα ἐν τῆι αὐλῆι καὶ ἀνῳκοδόμηκεν ἐν τῆι αὐλῆι κλίμακα φέρουσαν εἰς ἀλλοτρίαν οἰκίαν ὑπάρχουσαν πρὸς τῆι οἰκίαι ἐπὶ τῆς κλίμακος καὶ εἶτα προπίνων τὰ ἐμὰ ἑτέρωι Αἰγυπτίωι λήμματος ἕνεκεν καὶ νῦν ἐπὶ οἷς κρατῶ τόποις ἐπελθὼν ἐγβέβληκέ με ἐκ τῶν ἐμῶν μερῶν τῆς αὐλῆς τῆι βίαι χρώμενος. δέομαι οὖν σου εἰσορᾶν καὶ ἀνακαλεσάμενον αὐτὸν ἐπισκέψασθαι περὶ τούτων καὶ ἂν ᾖ ταῦτα ἀληθῆ ἐπαναγκάσαι αὐτὸν ἐκχωρῆσαί μοι τῶν ἐμῶν μερῶν, ἵνα διὰ σοῦ τοῦ δικαίου τύχω. εὐτύχει.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[… ? lines lost …] [… 4 lines lost …] […] from him he has leased out the upper parts, and he himself has moved into two rooms in the courtyard and has built up in the courtyard a staircase leading into another person's house which lies next to the house by way of the staircase; and then, selling off my property to another Egyptian for the sake of profit, he has now come against the places which I hold and has thrown me out of my parts of the courtyard, using violence. I ask you therefore to look into this, and to summon him and examine these matters, and if these things are true, to compel him to withdraw from my parts, so that through you I may obtain justice. Farewell.
