Petition of a widow against her son-in-law over leased property TM 23604Hermopolis

To Minicius Corellianus, the most excellent epistrategos, from Tetes daughter of Tryphon, of those from Hermopolis the Great. Dioskoros son of Hermaios, husband of my daughter Tieus, who constantly troubled you during your visit and brought complaints against me, was sent back by you together with me before Dioskoros son of Mousaios as judge in the 9th year of Antoninus Caesar the lord, who, having examined the matters disputed between us, gave his decision, upholding the documents we had drawn up with each other. But since after the judgment Dioskoros, behaving with the same insolence and despising my widowhood, without reason leased out my property to farmers, and from part of it took the rents of the 9th year, while the rest I had withheld through the strategos from the farmers until judgment; and Dioskoros, summoned through a sword-bearer of the strategos to come before his inquiry, failed to appear; I ask you, benefactor, if it seems good to you, to do what is necessary against him and put an end to his misdeeds, so that I may no longer be abused hereafter, and that I may have received benefaction. Farewell.
