Copy of a petition from Apollonios, strategos of the Apollonopolite Heptakomia, to the prefect of Egypt Rutilius Lupus, complaining that co-heirs from the Hermopolite nome were wronging him. He mentions a submission made together with his mother Eudaimonis based on public records and the archive keepers. Only the opening survives.

Although headed as a copy of a letter, the text is a complaint addressed to the prefect, here made by the strategos in a private matter of inheritance. The names of the prefect and the strategos are partly restored.
