memorandum
Description
The papyrus contains a letter to the strategoi and royal scribes of the Eptanomoi and the Arsinoite, giving instructions concerning preparations for a visit of Severus Alexander and his mother, Iulia Mamaea. It apparently reinforces a previous communication from the epistrategos, refers to a schedule of requisitions previously sent to the same officials and which they are now instructed to post up in public places, and insists that all requisitions are to be made within the proper limits only, severe penalties being threatened if the officials are caught overstepping the mark.
