It is interesting to note that in words such as पिहितम् , पिपीलकः , पिनद्धम् and पिप्लुः , the उपसर्गः is अपि.

Eg. पिहित = अपि + √धा + क्त

Both अपिहितम् and पिहितम् are correct forms and mean the same. We are seeing अकारलोपः in पिहितम् ।

How's that? Read and find out.
It seems there does not exist a sutra in Ashtadhyayi regarding this अकारलोपः ।

However, this rule is indicated in न्यासः and पदमञ्जरी of काशिका-वृत्तिः । It seems आचार्य भागुरि (before Maharshi Panini), who does not find mention even in महाभाष्यम्, has laid down this rule.
You can read न्यासः and पदमञ्जरी for the sutra 6.2.37 to find out more about it.

जयमङ्गल has mentioned the below shloka in commentary for भट्टिकाव्य.

अपिशब्दादकारलोपस्तु -
"वष्टि भागुरिरल्लोपमवाप्योरुपसर्गयोः ।
धाञ् कृञोस्तनिनह्योश्च बहुलत्वेन शौनकिः ॥ इति ।"
