Correspondence of Aphthonetos. A Petition via HGV-meta
Petition to the strategos Aphthonetos against Pausanias. A petition from Philippos and Ptolemaios to the strategos Aphthonetos, following up an earlier complaint against a certain Pausanias. Since the strategos had already ordered the local epistates to send Pausanias up, they ask him to summon both parties, examine the charges and compel Pausanias to give them justice. It comes from the Arsinoite nome in the later 3rd century BC. machine translation

Ἀφθονήτωι στρατηγῶι παρὰ Φιλίππου
καὶ Πτολεμαίου. εἰσεδώκαμέν σοι ἔντευξιν
κατὰ Παυσανίου περὶ
ὧν ἐνεκαλοῦμεν αὐτῶι.
σοῦ δὲ γράψαντος τῶι
ἐπιστάτηι παραπέμψαι αὐτὸν ……
οὖν σε εἰσκαλέσασθαι
ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπισκεψάμενον ἃ διὰ τῆς ἐντεύξεως αὐτῶι ἐγκεκλήκαμεν ἐπαναγκάσαι
αὐτὸν τὸ δίκαιον
ἡμῖν ὑποσχεῖν. τούτου γὰρ γενομένου
οὐ τὸν πλείω χρόνον
καταφθαρησόμεθα, ἀλλὰ
διὰ σὲ τῆς πάσης φιλανθρωπίας τευξόμεθα.

To Aphthonetos, strategos, from Philippos and Ptolemaios. We submitted to you a petition against Pausanias concerning the charges we were bringing against him.
And since you wrote to the epistates to send [him up] … We ask you therefore to summon us and, having examined the charges we have brought against him in the petition, to compel him to give us justice. For if this happens we shall not be ruined any longer, but through you we shall [obtain] every kindness.
[Farewell.]
