I 130) is a letter asking for relief from a debt, written in Greek and discovered in Oxyrhynchus.
Anoup asks Apion to allow him indulgence in regard to a debt which he is currently unable to pay.
[2] To Apion my kind lord, lover of Christ and the poor, all-esteemed and most magnificent patrician and dux of the Thebaid, from Anoup, your miserable slave upon your estate called Phakra.
No injustice or wickedness has ever attached to the glorious house of my kind lord, but it is ever full of mercy and overflowing to supply the needs of others.
Therefore I, your miserable slave, desire by this petition for mercy to bring it to your lordship's knowledge that I serve my kind lord as my fathers and forefathers did and pay the taxes every year.
