Fragment of an official letter or dossier from the Fayum, 3rd century AD, mentioning a high priest, a man named Firmus, strategoi called Ammonios, and temples at Naukratis. A certain Aurelius Didymos son of Didymos appears between the columns, and the back carries the heading of an account of beekeepers.

In English machine translation

The term hypokoryphaios, apparently a subordinate leader or deputy official, is rare and its exact meaning here is uncertain. The verso heading 'account of beekeepers' is probably a separate, later use of the papyrus.
