A small fragment preserving the end of a text with a dating clause: a day in the second half of September, at Nicomedia, under the consuls Constantine Augustus (7th time) and Constantius Caesar (1st time). The place and form of the date suggest the subscription of an imperial pronouncement.

The restored consulship (Constantine VII and Constantius Caesar I) corresponds to AD 326, while the catalogue gives 354; the consular names are partly restored. The dating at Nicomedia, an imperial residence, points to a copy of an imperial constitution.
