The end of a petition submitted by a woman, Takoibis daughter of Pakoibis, during the reign of Commodus, written for her by another person because she was illiterate. It is followed by an official note from the strategos of the Koptite nome ordering that a copy be sent to Phatres also called Didymos so that he may take the appropriate action.

In English machine translation

[… 5 lines lost …] … to receive. Year […] of Commodus Antoninus Caesar the lord. […] I, Takoibis daughter of Pakoibis, have submitted (this) as stated above. […] wrote […] on her behalf, since she does not know letters. […] strategos of the Koptite (nome); to Phatres also called Didymos: Let a copy of the petition submitted to me in the name of Takoibis daughter of Pakoibis be sent […] so that he may do what follows from it. Year […], Pharmouthi 23.

The body of the petition is lost, so its subject is unknown. The strategos's subscription forwards a copy to a subordinate official for action, a standard procedure in Roman Egypt.
