Fragment of the minutes of a hearing before the prefect of Egypt Julius Ursus, who after consulting his advisers gives a ruling. It concerns many complaints against a strategos, a penalty, the profit of the fiscus and the imperial account, and apparently a ban on entering the nome; record keepers are also mentioned.

In English machine translation

Julius Ursus, having deliberated with those sitting with him in council, said: "[…] most necessary and into […] for the one who arrives first; but I shall say […] of many against the strategos […] to have conducted himself. Therefore […] penalty (?) […] his […] for the sake of […] profit of the fiscus […] they seek profit for the imperial account […] but from […] nor to set foot in the nome […] slander (?) […] your […] will be fined (?) […] will keep (?) […] record keeper(s) […] to serve […]" [… ? lines lost …]

Julius Ursus was prefect of Egypt under Domitian. The "kyriakos logos" was the imperial account, here contrasted or paired with the fiscus; the right side of every line is lost, so the ruling's details are uncertain.
