Description

This papyrus contains the top part of a petition addressed by Philoxenos possibly (far from certain) to the governor of the province of Arcadia. Surviving are (in part) the address (lines 1-4); a short proem (lines 5-8), virtually complete; and the beginning of the narrative of events leading up to the petition (lines 8-13).
