End of a petition, probably about an assault, in which the petitioner asks an official to send one of his assistants with a public physician to examine his injuries and report on them, and to keep the petition on file until the case comes before a higher official. It is dated 3 January 247, in the reign of the two Philips, in the Oxyrhynchite nome.
The beginning, including the names and the account of the assault, is lost; the subject is inferred from the request for an examination by a public physician. The verso note dated to Year 5, Pachon, was added later.
