Orders of the royal scribe to the laographoi of the fourth lot TM 10969ArsinoitesJuli - Sept. 238

Two orders issued by the royal scribe of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, who was also acting for the strategos, addressed to the laographoi (census officials) of the fourth lot. They concern individuals including Aurelius Neilammon and Serenos son of Sarapion, apparently in connection with liturgies and imperial constitutions, possibly an exemption claim involving knowledge of writing; they date to the brief reign of Pupienus and Balbinus in AD 238.

In English machine translation

Laographoi were officials who kept the poll-tax registers; a 'lot' (kleros) was a subdivision of the district for such administration. The reference to 'knowledge of writing' may relate to qualifications or exemptions for liturgies, but the context is lost.
