Fragmentary letter, attributed to Helladios, giving instructions about a summary account of persons in a pagarchy, repeated letters from the pagarchs, and the collection of 3 solidi. It ends with greetings to a shared 'brother', the lord John. Dated about AD 675-676.
The descriptive title identifies the sender as Helladios, a topoteretes (deputy official), issuing orders concerning strangers. The addressee is referred to in the feminine, probably meaning an institution or pagarchy rather than a woman.
