To Petronius Mamertinus, praefect of Egypt, from Hieracion son of Dorion, of Letopolis, beekeeper. At the previous assizes, my lord praefect, Sarapas son of Psiathas, Hermas son of Psosnaus, and Ninnas son of Comon, although they had nothing whatever against me, served a summons upon me, pretending that they had a case against me which required the decision of the late praefect Flavius Titianus, the result being that on presenting myself judgement was entered for the sum fixed on account of the summonses amounting to 500 drachmae, and I was with difficulty able to complete this by selling all my property. Since therefore the case requires the exercise of your hatred of wrongdoers, I entreat you, my lord and just judge, to hear me against them ... Translation with modification: J. de M. Johnson – V. Martin – A.S. Hunt, P.Ryl. 2 113
