A list of archive rolls transferred from the registry of the prefect's office, recording glued-together rolls of petitions, letters and dispatches handled by the office of the eisagogeus. It covers year 4 of the preceding reign (Elagabalus) and year 1 of Severus Alexander, giving counts of documents and sheets per period, AD 222, probably at Alexandria.

The eisagogeus was the official who introduced cases and petitions before the prefect; a synkollesimon is a roll made of individual documents glued together. The 'preceding reign' is presumably that of Elagabalus.
