Fragment of an official communication from the keeper of the registers of catoecic land of the Oxyrhynchite and other nomes, probably addressed to the agoranomos (notary). It concerns a transfer of land shares based on a private written agreement, mentioning a man of the Alexandrian Sosikosmian deme, a certain Euarchos, and property near the Thesmophorion, in the reign of Antoninus Pius.

The katalochismoi were the registers of catoecic (settler) land; their keeper notified the agoranomos to draw up conveyances of such land. The address to the agoranomos is an editorial restoration.
