This demotic papyrus is now held in the British Museum ( EA 10845 ). It contains an appeal to the gods by two children who had been abandoned by their father after the death of their mother and his remarriage. The date is probably late in the Ptolemaic period. The translation is taken from G.R. Hughes, in "Studies in Honor of John A. Wilson", pp.43-54 ( PDF )
