A petition by Tapiamis, daughter of Anchophis, of the village of Psenyris, to the strategos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. She reports that a man named Stotoetis took 800 drachmas from her to pay a wine merchant at Aphroditopolis for wine jars she had bought, and then vanished, and she asks that the complaint be registered to preserve her claim.

In English machine translation

To Hierax also called Nemesion, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division, through Anoubion, former agoranomos, former gymnasiarch, deputy for the strategy, from Tapiamis daughter of Anchophis, residing in the village of Psenyris. A certain Stotoetis, having received from me 800 silver drachmas on condition that he would deliver them in the village of Aphroditopolis to Chairemon, wine merchant, for the price of the jars of wine which I had from him, has disappeared. Therefore I submit and ask that this petition be put on record, so that if Stotoetis appears my claim may remain valid for me. Tapiamis, about 50 years old, with a scar on the right knee. Year […] of Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax Augustus, Mecheir 6.

The regnal year is lost, so only the reign of Septimius Severus dates the text. Such petitions 'for the record' were filed to preserve legal rights rather than to request immediate action.
