Draft petition to the king concerning a disputed house held by Arsinoe TM 1252Kharabet el Gerza (ancient Philadelphia)248 - 239 B.C.

[recto] […] […] […] has written […] […] Eutychos concerning these matters […] to be and to have spent on the building and that he would show proof about these things, and Agenor having ordered that until Eutychos had shown proof […] those judged should be detained, Eutychos, corrupted by Arsinoe because he had formerly lived with her and had children by her, they carried off some of the possessions in the house during the following night, which the guards seized, and he himself withdrew and is still now in the Sarapieion at Memphis, being fed by Arsinoe; and later she submitted a petition, saying that I had undertaken to produce the builders and those from whom Eutychos had bought the bricks and the timber, and the donkey-drivers, as signing witnesses, although I had made no such undertaking; wherefore Agenor, misled […] by Arsinoe's statement, writes to Kleitorios to summon me and order me, in accordance with what I had undertaken, to produce the men as signing witnesses, and if they do not sign, to allow no one to use force against Arsinoe. I beg you therefore, O king, since Eutychos, corrupted by Arsinoe, has withdrawn so as not to show that the house is his, […] summon [verso] and she herself has not shown proof […] to hear us, and if Arsinoe does not show that the house is hers, as she writes in her first petition, that the house be mine, so that I too, through you, O king, may obtain justice. Farewell. Arsinoe.
