The closing part of a sworn declaration, probably a notice of death, asking that a man be entered in the register of people in the same category from the same year, as is customary. It is sworn by the emperor Trajan, dated 2 May 102, and countersigned by two city scribes of Oxyrhynchus, Didymos and Apollonios.
The identification as a death notice is tentative, since the opening with the declarant's name and the person concerned is lost. The second date in Pauni (May-June) probably records when the scribes processed the document.
