Description

The text is a petition or hypomnema addressed to the epistates Artemon by an unknown person concerning two sanctuaries, an ibis-temple and a shrine of Isis. Mention is also made of a kleros (military allotment) and the addressee is asked to write to the oikonomos Petosiris. The overall meaning and most of the details remain obscure because of the fragmentary state of the papyrus.
