A petition from Kronion son of Cheos of Tebtynis to the strategos Andromachos of the Polemon division of the Arsinoite nome, acting through his deputy Sabinus. Kronion had left his black she-donkey with a woman named Akousarion in the nome capital; she claimed it escaped to Tebtynis, but he could not find it there, so he asks that she be summoned so he can recover the animal. It dates to the reign of Hadrian.

In English machine translation

To Andromachos, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Polemon division, through Sabinus, former gymnasiarch, deputy for the office of strategos, from Kronion son of Cheos, from the village of Tebtynis. I deposited my black female donkey in the metropolis with Akousarion, and when I wished to take it back from Akousarion, I learned from her that it had suddenly run off to Tebtynis from her courtyard. Since, then, on coming to Tebtynis I did not find the donkey, I ask that Akousarion be brought before you so that I may recover the donkey, in order that I may have been helped by you. Year […] of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, Pharmouthi 12.

The regnal year is lost, so only the month and day survive. The 'metropolis' is the nome capital, Ptolemais Euergetis (Arsinoe).
