Petition of Sabinus against Antonius over camels, assault and threats TM 9001Karanis (Arsinoites)

To Apollonios also called Ptolemaios, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division, from Sabinus son of Zosimos, from the metropolis, residing in the village of Karanis. The […] […] camels from […] Antonius came forward wishing, out of spite, to deprive me of what my wife Aphrodite owns […] two camels, and when I did not comply he assaulted me with very many blows; and moreover, during my absence, he demanded from my wife's son Polydeukes, who is under age, 2 drachmas, as though these were given to him by everyone for each camel. But also today, when I asked him for the transport charge for the days I worked, out of what he had exacted from all the villagers, 6 drachmas for each artaba, again he committed the utmost outrage against me, threatening even to plot against my life. Being afraid that he might carry out in deed what he said, I fled as far as the village of Pharbaitha in this same division, and I submit this petition and ask that it be placed on record, and that you hear me against him, so that at the appointed time I may prove that on the […] day […] him […] very many camels, after which […], from which his theft is evident. Farewell. I, Sabinus son of Zosimos, have submitted this. Year […] of Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Caesar the lord, Pachon 11.
