EN scholarly
To Athenodorus, chief of police, from Tesenouphis son of Petermouthis, a resident in the farmstead called Sandy in the area of Euhemeria, the property of Thermoutharion daughter of Lucarion. On the 14th of the present month Pharmouthi of the 3rd year of Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus certain individuals broke like robbers into the house I inhabit in the farmstead aforesaid and removed 10 measures of white wool, of a warp likewise 5 measures and of a woof 2 measures, and I suspect the residents in the farmstead. Wherefore I ask you to write that inquiry may be made into the matter with a view to befitting punishment. Farewell. Tesenouphis, aged about 28 years, with a scar on the left leg. Translation with slight modifications: P.Ryl. 2 146
