A monthly report from Aurelius Akylas, village scribe of a group of villages in the Oxyrhynchite nome, to the strategos Flavius Harpokration, declaring that he has nothing to report concerning the central administration, the idios logos or other procuratorial departments for the month of Tybi. It was submitted in year 2 of Gordian III.
The idios logos was the Roman office handling special revenues such as confiscated and ownerless property; 'dioikesis' is the general financial administration. The village name and part of line 6 are illegible.
