A letter to Apollonios, strategos of the Heptakomia district, about a boundary dispute that had been dealt with at the governor's assize (conventus). The writer urges that a man's boundaries be restored, as the epistrategos had ordered in person, and asks Apollonios to tell him when he may cross to Pouchis to settle it.
The beginning of the letter, including the sender's name, is lost. The conventus (dialogismos) was the governor's judicial circuit where disputes were heard. Pouchis is a locality in the Heptakomia district.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
