Fragmentary petition from Sarapion of the village of Psychis in the lower Koites toparchy to the strategos [...] also called Theon, lodging a complaint against Nephorotes son of Harchemis of the same village. Only the opening survives, with hints that the accused acted violently and abusively. It dates to the late 1st or early 2nd century AD, from the Herakleopolite nome.

The Koites was a toparchy (district) of the Herakleopolite nome, divided into upper and lower parts. The word beginning apostate- is too broken to translate securely; it may refer to withholding or depriving.

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