Fragment of a petition from Alexandria, about 14-13 BC, apparently from people connected with an estate (oikos) involving the villages Kerkesoucha and Phnebie. The petitioners ask the addressee to have their petition processed and passed to the hypomnematographos; a lease of land of the queen for five years and a figure of 929 arouras are mentioned.
The hypomnematographos was a high Alexandrian official handling records and petitions. The 'queen' probably refers to a former royal estate still designated by that name in the early Roman period.
