Fragment from the middle of a document, possibly a petition or record of proceedings, mentioning a debtor, a Mamertinus, a Celer, Eudaimon and Neokydes, and someone saying he will write to the strategos. It dates to the mid-2nd century AD and may come from Alexandria.

In English machine translation

[…] of the debtor […] […] of Mamertinus […] […] I will write to the strategos […] […] and something to him […] […] has resulted / remained over […] […] these things, Eudaimon […] […] Neokydes […] […] petitioning (?) […] […] and giving (?) […] […] of Celer in the meantime […] […] is subjoined to the […] […] I was […] […] had been granted (?) […] […] since the legal dues (?) have been paid off […]

Classification as a petition is tentative. Mamertinus may be the prefect of Egypt Marcus Petronius Mamertinus (AD 133-137), and Celer another official, but this is not certain from the text.
