Fragment of a death notice submitted to an official, reporting that a man, son of Ploution, died in the 7th year of Severus Alexander and asking that he be entered in the list of persons in like case (the deceased). It is sworn by the emperor's fortune and dates to about AD 227-228, probably from the Oxyrhynchite nome.
Much of the formula, including the emperor's name, is restored from the standard pattern of death notices. The deceased's name survives only as an ending, '-pon'.
