Petition to a high official about violent detention TM 28911unbekanntII - frühes III

Fragment of a petition to a high official, perhaps the prefect of Egypt. The petitioner complains that someone, apparently a man not involved in public affairs, was violently detained for eight days, and asks the official for help to recover expenses and escape an opponent's violence.

In English machine translation

The address to the official as 'saviour of all and protector' is largely restored; the identification of the addressee as the prefect is conjectural.
