A short private or business letter from Dionysios to Anoubion and Menodoros, reporting that someone (probably an official) arrived in the Heptanomia on the 20th and has not yet announced any decision. He asks them to secure the share belonging to Sarapion the grain official. Early 2nd century AD.
The name or title of the person who arrived is damaged; the Heptanomia was the administrative district of Middle Egypt. A sitologos was an official in charge of public granaries.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
