Petition citing an earlier petition and subscription of the epistrategos Claudius Xenophon TM 10596Probably Arsinoite nome, province of Egypt180-192 A.D.

Opening of a petition, probably from the Arsinoite nome, in which the petitioner cites an earlier petition to the epistrategos Claudius Xenophon and his subscription referring the case to the strategos. Because the matter has still not been settled owing to the opponent's conduct, the petitioner asks again for help and begins copying the original petition.

In English machine translation

The epistrategos supervised groups of nomes; his subscription simply referred the petitioner to the local strategos. The verb describing the opponent's action and the phrase about 'consciousness' are uncertain in sense.
