Fragment of a certified extract from official minutes recording that a man, Eudaimon the elder, son of Hermaios, a former toparch, asked to be released from compulsory public services (liturgies) because of old age and illness. The copy was checked by the administrative assistant Thoas son of Hermias in the Hermopolite nome in AD 91.

I, Thoas son of Hermias, administrative assistant, have collated the foregoing minute.
Year 10 of Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus, Pauni 18.
Liturgies were compulsory unpaid public services; old age and illness were recognised grounds for release. The term 'pragmatikoi' at the start is uncertain in context and may refer to officials or business agents.
