Letter from Apollonios to Peteuris answering a complaint TM 3196Arsinoites221 - 205 v.Chr.

A Greek letter from Apollonios to Peteuris, written in the Arsinoite nome in the late 3rd century BC. After the usual health wishes, Apollonios responds to a report from Sostratos that Peteuris was blaming him, apparently defending himself against an accusation involving an informer and an oath; most of the rest is lost.

Only the opening lines are well preserved; the right side of the letter is lost, so the details of the dispute are unclear. The verso line 'To Peteuris' is probably the address, with further text of the letter continuing there.
