Opening of an official letter from Aurelius Claudius Lykarion alias Sarapammon, overseer of the prefect's correspondence, to Aurelius Hierax alias Sarapion, royal scribe of the Hermopolite nome, about documents sent to be registered. Only the first lines survive. It dates to AD 214-248 and comes from Oxyrhynchus.
The overseer (epiteretes) of the prefect's letters appears to have handled the circulation of the governor's correspondence. The royal scribe (basilikos grammateus) was a senior financial official of the nome.
