English: To King Ptolemy and Queen Cleopatra his sister, the Mother-Loving Gods, greeting from Ptolemaios son of Glaukias, Macedonian, one of those in katoche in the great Serapeum at Memphis, now in the thirteenth year there. A house that belonged to my father in the village of Psichis of the Herakleopolite (nome) and now belongs to me was demolished and the goods in it (valued at 20 copper talents) carried off by my neighbors Hesperos and Ataios, his son, and his brother Polemon. The aforesaid, not yet satisfied with what they had done, have built around the court that belonged to it and the open space around the house, using it as their own, scorning me because I cannot come out of the sanctuary and go to the place to bring them to account. Since, O great king and queen, I cannot for the present bring them to account for the goods carried off by them, nor about their building on what was left to me by my father, nor about their using it in any way they wish, I beg -you to send my petition to Kydias the strategos of the nome so that he may summon the aforementioned men and order the aforesaid to refrain from their forcible encroachment on the aforesaid land, and to hand it over to my representatives  and to treat them harshly for the violence they have done, so that I may have shared in your protection for my life. Farewell.

Notes: Another draft of the same petition, UPZ I 11, gives the date of September 161 for this activity.

My representatives: In UPZ I 11 it is specified: to Apollonios my younger brother, who is also to receive the value of the goods seized.

Protection for my life: A less dramatic version of the farewell than in the other draft ("so that I may not perish of hunger").
