Fragment of a document addressed to an official, Alexander, a man of senatorial rank (clarissimus), dated by the consular formula of AD 370. A certain Dorotheos son of Antinoos and at least one other person, both from the same place, appear to be the senders; the purpose of the document is lost.

In English machine translation

The consular date is largely restored; the opening lines follow the formula for the year after the consulship of Valentinian Galates and Victor (AD 370). The document may have been a petition, but too little survives to be sure.
