Fragment of a petition from the Arsinoite nome (Fayum), second half of the 3rd century BC. The petitioner complains that, although he kept to a decision made by an official, his opponents ignored it and harassed him so that the grain would spoil in the field, the former cultivator Petesis having been arrested or taken away.

In English machine translation

[...] [...] concerning the things done by him. And while I abided by what he had decided, they paid no attention but acted abusively, so that the grain should be ruined in the field, because Petesis too, the former cultivator, had been led away [...] [...]

The Greek participle 'apegmenon' means 'led away', probably arrested or carried off to custody. The verb 'synekrinen' suggests an official ruling or arbitration in the dispute.
