Opening of a petition from Aurelius Pinoution, a former gymnasiarch and councillor, to the city council of Hermopolis, addressed through the presiding prytanis Aurelius Adelphios. It begins to tell of Ammonios, son of a councillor, who was living in Alexandria; the rest is lost. Dated by the consuls of AD 321.
