Fragment of the opening of a document from the Oxyrhynchite nome, preserving only the dating clause by the regnal year of Justin II and the consulship involving the Caesar Tiberius Constantine, dated 25 Epeiph (19 July 577). The beginning of an address to a 'most admirable' person survives, but the content is lost.

In English machine translation

[…] […] of the eternal Augustus and Imperator, [year] 12, and in the 2nd consulship of their Serenity, and of Flavius Tiberius also called New Constantine, our most fortunate Caesar, Epeiph 25, indiction 10, beginning of the 11th. To the most admirable […] […]

The emperor named is Justin II, whose 12th regnal year this is; Tiberius held the title Caesar before becoming emperor in 578. The phrase 'indiction 10, beginning of 11' reflects the start of the new indiction year in summer.
