When these transactions
had been completed in the month of Elaphebolion in the archonship of
Theophilus,1 I at once sailed away for Pontus,
but the plaintiff and Evergus remained here. What transactions they had with one
another while I was away, I cannot state, for they do not tell the same story,
nor is the plaintiff always consistent with himself; sometimes he says that he
was forcibly ousted from his leasehold by Evergus in violation of the agreement;
sometimes that Evergus was the cause of his being inscribed as a debtor to the
state;2 sometimes anything else that he
chooses to say.
