Petition of tenants against a cavalry settler over rent grain at Euhemeria. A petition to the strategos Diophanes from three tenants, Onetor, Asklepiades and Mousaios, against the cavalry settler Lysandros, whose 100-aroura allotment near Euhemeria they had leased for 500 artabas of wheat. They complain that he delayed collecting his rent, let the grain spoil on the threshing floor, and is now scheming to their disadvantage while the grain is held in the temple of Souchos.
