Copy of a petition from Pamounis to a strategos complaining that on 16 Mecheir a group including Hathres, Kollouthes and many others assaulted his brother, leaving him half-dead. He asks that an official assistant be sent to inspect the injuries; the petition is dated 11 February 167 and was written for him by Hierokles because he was illiterate.
