Badly damaged remains of a Greek document, possibly a petition or a letter of request, addressing a 'lord' and mentioning 'my lady', 'masters' and a request ('I ask'). It dates to the 2nd-3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] good (?) […] […] and […] […] […] lord […] […] of my lady […] to […] […] many […] on behalf of (?) […] […] exactly […] […] lord […] well […] […] to petition (?) […] […] … […] […] […] defence (?) […] […] […] […] I ask […] to be […] […] masters […] […] […] […] my lady […] […] […] […]

The identification as a petition is tentative; only scattered words such as 'lord', 'my lady', 'to petition' and 'I ask' can be read.

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