Fragment of what appears to be the minutes of a court hearing, possibly quoted within a petition, from Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome. Scattered phrases mention a death, legislation, a lawsuit, an advocate's argument and earlier rulings of the kings.

The identification as court minutes embedded in a petition is tentative. Only the left-hand edges of the lines are lost and restorations are minimal, so the connected sense cannot be recovered.

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