Opening lines of a document from the Arsinoite nome, 3rd century AD, involving Chairemon, a hypomnematographos, acting through a representative named Aurelius, and addressed to (or concerning) Didymos also called Sarapion in the division of Herakleides. The rest is lost, so its purpose is unknown.

In English machine translation

[…] Chairemon, hypomnematographos […] of the division of Herakleides of the Ar[sinoite nome] […] city, through me, Aurelius […] brother, from the same city […] to Didymos also called Sarapion […] [… lines lost …]

The hypomnematographos was a high Alexandrian official whose title literally means 'recorder of memoranda'. The surviving formula 'through me, Aurelius' suggests a contract or application submitted by a representative.
