Title Memorandum from Nikias to Zenon
Summary Nikias had sent a female foal to Boutos to graze on the hay. Next day she ran off to find her dam, taking the road she was accustomed to. The guards at Simyra seized and locked her up. A guard from Boutos together with a brother-in-law of Nikias followed on her tracks and had taken possession of her, when Noumenios the guard came up and led them off to prison. Zenon is therefore requested to write to Noumenios and explain the matter.

HGV 1113 Translation (English) [xml]

1  Memorandum from Nikias to Zenon. We sent a mare to pasture in Boutos of the Memphite nome on the seventh. On the eighth, she ran off, seeking her mother. She left the path on which she was accustomed to travel. The phylakitai from Simyra, seizing her, shut her up. A phylakitês from Boutos and a brother-in-law of mine followed her tracks. Finding her, they took possession of her; but when the phylakitês Noumenios arrived, he arrested them. Therefore, I ask that you, if it seems best, write to him about these matters. Farewell. (J. Bauschatz, Law and Enforcement, p. 56)
