Petition to the strategos about a sale of hay for grazing at Euhemeria TM 3993Euhemeria (Arsinoites)144 - 143 v.Chr.

Beginning of a petition to the strategos of the Arsinoite nome from a cleruch holding 80 arouras at Euhemeria. He reports that another cleruch of the same village, a 100-aroura holder, bought from him 7 1/2 arouras of hay grown on royal land he farms, at 10 artabas of wheat per aroura (75 artabas in total), to graze his sheep; the complaint itself is lost.

In English machine translation

"80-aroura" and "100-aroura" holders were military settlers (cleruchs) classed by the size of their allotments. The reason for the petition, presumably non-payment or damage, is lost with the rest of the text.
