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.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Eingabe des Apollonios an den Präfekten Lupus). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
