Beginning of an application to the archidikastes, the Alexandrian official in charge of the registration of contracts and the courts, from Marcus Aurelius Hermeias also called Herakleides, of the Moeris quarter of the Arsinoite metropolis, and a second party. A maternal grandfather, Isidoros son of Archistratios, appears to act as co-guarantor of the document; the rest is lost.

The note that a party was styled differently before receiving Roman citizenship suggests a date after the grant of citizenship by Caracalla in AD 212. The name of the archidikastes is largely restored.
