A fragmentary petition or report addressed to Apollonios, strategos of the Apollonopolite Heptakomias nome. It mentions soldiers, two respectable men of Hypsele, and men being dragged away alive, apparently during a violent incident.
Apollonios was strategos of this nome in the early 2nd century AD, during the Jewish revolt (AD 115-117), which may be the context of the violence described. "Respectable men" (euschemones) denotes local notables.
