End of a private or business letter of the 3rd century AD. The writer asks the addressee to show a certain Alexandros whatever he asks and to collect from him 12 drachmas on account of Romans, Alexandrians and those outside the summary register, and 20 drachmas on account of the katoikoi.
The beginning of the letter is lost. The 'synopsis' (summary register) and the categories of Romans, Alexandrians and katoikoi (privileged settler landholders) suggest payments tied to land or tax registration.
