Fragment of a document from Oxyrhynchus addressed by Aurelius Phasganios to Flavius Heraklios, the logistes (city curator) of the Oxyrhynchite nome. It is dated by the consulship of the emperors Constantius (4th) and Constans (3rd), that is AD 346; the body is almost entirely lost.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] the 4th year and of Constans the 3rd (consulship) of the Augusti. To Flavius Heraklios, logistes of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Aurelius Phasganios son of Phtho[…] [from the glorious] and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites […] […] […] […] […]

The logistes was the chief financial and administrative officer of the city in late Roman Egypt. The consular dating (Constantius II for the 4th time and Constans for the 3rd) points to AD 346; the nature of the text (petition or declaration) cannot be determined.
