Small fragment of a petition from the Oxyrhynchite nome, apparently by or concerning a person from the city of Oxyrhynchus. Only scattered phrases survive, mentioning someone acting with contempt and an infant girl, perhaps a widow's or mother's complaint.

The identification as a petition rests on the catalogue description; the surviving words ("despising", "infant") fit a complaint of mistreatment, but the context is lost.
