Opening of a petition to Isidoros, strategos of two divisions of the Arsinoite nome, from Dios son of Patynis, a public farmer of Berenikis Thesmophorou. He complains that on the night before Mesore 8 three fellow villagers, Kames, Lautanis and Kollouthos, abused him and came onto public land he farms near the village.
