Commentary
LBW 69 is very poorly preserved; the names of the envoys did not appear, but from the plural form "πρεισγευταί" we can establish they were more than one. Since this document is inscribed right before LBW 70 and 71, we are sure that this text dates back to the first call for asylia performed by Teos. What we are not sure is if the two Teian envoys were supported by Perdikkas, an envoy of Philip V, exactly like in LBW 70 and 71.Authors
