Copy of imperial rescripts (answers to petitions) of Septimius Severus and Caracalla, posted publicly in Alexandria. The first tells Artemidoros also called Achilleus that, having agreed to a judgment, he complains too late; the second, damaged, concerns the return of a contract declared invalid by a settlement.

The rescripts were issued and posted in Alexandria during the emperors' visit to Egypt; this copy was found at Hermopolis. The second rescript is badly damaged and its sense is only partly recoverable.
