Fragment of a petition addressed to the strategos of the Lykopolite nome, apparently concerning minors and acts said to have no legal force, with a request that the strategos act against unlawful attempts. It is dated to year 1 of joint emperors in the 3rd century AD and mentions a councillor Athenodoros.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] […] of the minors […] […] to the strategos of the Lykopolite nome, Phan[…] […] […] in the village always […] give (?), the things from childhood […] […] being able to have no force […] […] still, and not […] to act unlawfully […] […] of the aforementioned village […] […] to the strategos by this notice, if […] […] they should attempt. Farewell. Year 1 of the Emperors […] […] Pii Felices Augusti […] […] Athenodoros, councillor […] […] not knowing (letters) […]

The final line 'not knowing' likely belongs to a subscription formula noting that a woman petitioner did not know letters. The phrase 'Pii Felices Augusti' indicates joint emperors, but their names are lost.
