A petition from Panesneus son of Sokonopis, a weaver of Narmouthis, to Apollonides, strategos of the Polemon division of the Arsinoite nome. He complains that on Choiak 26 four men accosted him in the public street, bound him and robbed him of a cloak and other items. It dates to the third year of Hadrian (AD 118/119).
Several lines describing the attack and the stolen items are badly damaged and untranslatable. The assault took place on Choiak 26, i.e. 22 December 118, which gives the earliest possible date of the petition.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
