Description

Sphragis had been robbed on her way to Sophthis, a village in the Memphite nome, of a few articles which she was carrying, two garments, some wool and a little copper money. She asks Zenon to write to Leontiskos, the chief policeman in that district, to give her back the things stolen, which were now reported to have been found.
