Opening of an application addressed to Serenos son of Herakleides, priest and chief judge (archidikastes), from a man connected with the temple of Thoeris, Isis and Sarapis, concerning a registered agreement (synchoresis) involving a priest of the same gods. It comes from Oxyrhynchus, late 1st or early 2nd century AD.
A synchoresis was a contract registered through the archidikastes' office in Alexandria. Most of the titles and the temple name are restored from standard formulas.
