Fragments of a petition complaining of wrongdoing TM 30781unbekanntEnde III

The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

Two small fragments of a petition (enteuxis) in which the petitioner complains of being wronged by a man whose name begins Ar-, apparently in connection with a written agreement. It dates to the end of the 3rd century BC.

In English machine translation

[Fragment 1] […] I am wronged by Ar[…] […] the written document (?) agree(?) […] […] and […] […] [Fragment 2] […] […] […]

The phrase 'I am wronged by' is the standard formula of Ptolemaic petitions (enteuxeis) addressed to the king. Fragment 2 preserves only isolated letters.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Ἔντευξις). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
