A report by Aurelius Thonios, public physician of Oxyrhynchus, to the prytanis Aurelius Ailourion also called Hesychios. On the prytanis's orders, following a petition by the brothers Didymos and Ptolemaios, he examined a man named Patareus and found a wound on his right forearm and an injury on his left arm. It dates to AD 297.

In English machine translation

[recto, column 1] In the consulship of our lords Imperator Maximianus Augustus for the 5th time and Maximianus the most noble Caesar for the 2nd time. To Aurelius Ailourion also called Hesychios, former hypomnematographos, councillor of the most splendid city of the Alexandrians, gymnasiarch, councillor, prytanis in office of the splendid and most splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, from Aurelius Thonios, of the same city, public physician. I was instructed by you, through Aurelius Eirenaios, assistant of your office, in consequence of petitions submitted to you by the Aurelii Didymos and Ptolemaios, sons of Dionysios son of Artemidoros, both of the splendid and most splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, to examine Patareus, who is named in their petitions, and to report in writing whatever condition I should find. Accordingly I examined him in the same city in the presence of the same assistant, and found him with a wound on the forearm of the right hand and a bruise (?) on the left, which I report. Year 13 and year 12 of our lords Diocletian and Maximian Augusti and year 5 of our lords Constantius and Maximian the most noble Caesars, […] […] [… lines lost …] [recto, column 2] In the consulship of […] Aurelius […] assistant (?) […] [verso] Copy concerning […], daughter of Dionysios

The prytanis was the presiding officer of the city council; a second, fragmentary report follows, and the verso docket apparently refers to a related examination of a daughter of Dionysios. The word for the injury on the left arm is partly restored.
