Fragment of a document, apparently a letter-like covering note followed by a list of persons present at Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome from Pachon 5. It mentions a monthly allowance and someone's planned trip up to Philadelphia on the 28th; names include Lachares, Straton, a son of Apollodoros and Herophantos.

[...] the monthly (allowance?).
And he said that you would go up

The purpose of the list is unclear. The word translated 'monthly (allowance?)' (katamenios) may refer to a monthly payment or ration.
