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.

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.
