EN scholarly
‘Athenodorus, chief of police, from Protarchus son of Ptolemaeus. On the night before the 4th of the present month Phaophi of the 18th year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, certain individuals making a thievish incursion into an olive-yard I possess, in the area of Euhemeria in the division of Themistes at the comer, gathered of the fruits a quantity of olives ; moreover they repeatedly gathered them in the same way and carried them off. Wherefore I request you, if so it seems good, to order a letter to be written that inquiry be made into the matter with a view to the ensuing punishment. Farewell.’
