Description

Papyrus petition from the Arsinoites (modern name: Fayyum), Egypt. Directed to Sarapion, chief bodyguard and strategos, or highest official in the region. Written by Petosiris, son of Petosiris, priest of the shrine of hawks in Oxyrhyncha. Written against Apollonios, the deputy strategos, or highest official in the region. During a recent visit Apollonios had Pais, the son of Petosiris' older brother, taken to the threshing floor, where they presumably took the priests' provisions away. Petosiris requests that they are restituted so that they can continue feeding and mummifying the hawks. P.Duk.inv. 715 is another copy(?) of this text written in the same hand
