A fragmentary official letter from the strategos Calpurnius Artemidoros alias Ptolemaios and the royal scribe Domitius Apollonios to a former gymnasiarch, forwarding a matter raised by the nome's eklogistes about unexamined administrative accounts, apparently involving the deceased Sarapion son of Herodes. It was written at Oxyrhynchus on 30 July 163 and was followed by a copied extract from earlier records.
