Translation

R
1To Santobithys, chief bodyguard and strategos,
2from Esoroeris son of Petoseiris, descendant.
3I am wronged by Neoptolemos son of Neoptolemos,
4whose fatherland I do not know, one of the soldiers posted
5at Syene. A house belongs to me in
6the fortress of Syene and he is billeted there.
7Although before this time I was
8unreproached by him, now in the month of Mecheir of year 33,
9having contrived an argument with me deliberately,
10for a time he was reviling me very shamefully, but then,
11going beyond the law, he broke apart the ceiling of the
12dwelling above so that I would always be spattered with dust.
13Not content with that, using the
14villainous behavior typical of him, seizing me in the
15courtyard, they were beating me with numerous blows to every
16part of my body in the presence of some of those in ---
17---. And because on account of this
18issue, I have moved? to the Ombite (nome) to [---]
19[---] and [---]
20[---] he insults/violates me against the good order.
21But because you have [come] to the area as a help
22to the one who has been wronged, I request, if you please,
23[---] us, that from the [---
24[---] investigation I may obtain what is right.
25Farewell.
