Fragmentary copy of an application addressed to Aelianus, the archidikastes (chief justice) at Alexandria, acting through his deputy Demetrios also called Domitius, from Ktesidemos and Claudia Herakleia also called Arsinoe of Oxyrhynchus, seeking completion of an agreement (synchoresis). It concerns property of Theon, a pledge and seizure, heirs Sarapion and Andromachos, and land including 4 arouras at Kerkethyris.
The archidikastes was the Alexandrian official who registered and validated contracts (synchoreseis); the date is marked as uncertain in one record. Much of the titulature of Aelianus is restored from parallels.
