A fragment of what appears to be a record of legal proceedings or a related report, mentioning the imperial treasury, priests, people without means, and a petition submitted by the speaker. It dates to the 3rd century AD and may come from Memphis.

[…] going around the priests […] I submitted a petition and […]
[…] I speak on behalf of the treasury […]
[…] in the matter (?) and he does not owe […]
[…] said: 'Not on behalf of the treasury […] many; for the one who says […]'
[…] …
The Greek tamieion (treasury) here refers to the imperial fiscus. Direct speech ('he said') suggests court minutes, but the fragment is too damaged to be certain.
