Fragment of an official document mentioning the prefect of Egypt, an audit, the emperor, a strategos, a former exegetes and persons named Ammonios and Longinus. It seems to concern claims and the use of force, but too little survives to establish the details. It dates to the 1st or 2nd century AD.

The exegetes was a senior municipal magistrate in Roman Egypt. The left side of every line is lost, so connections between the surviving phrases are uncertain.
