Angry letter from Aurelius Zoilos to his brother Diogenes TM 17331unbekannt30. Nov. 247 (Jahr unsicher)

[recto] [Aurelius Zoilos] to Diogenes. [I received yo]ur letter on the 2nd and found it [...] the foolishness. I, while serving, am reproached: I am not out of my mind, and I am not shameless, and I am not a mouse. Take pains over my letter; learn then that I have spent my 14 years, and for the rest serving your parents, and I was not shameless, and I did not become like you, nor like my sister. You ought not to have done these things and gone off at 12 years old and run away (?) to the Kynopolite nome. Even if you do everything, you cannot beat me. For when I was little, I in turn used to beat you; now at last, when I have become a young man, you intend to beat me. I have put up with you until now; I will not put up with you any longer. I will also bear witness to my sister Thaesis, if she comes to me, with the gods' help. Year 5, Choiak 3. For I thought that you would show me affection; when my mother was in danger, I found that, if she should pass away (after a hundred years), you were going to throw me [...] out at the door.
