Fragmentary copy of a collection of imperial rescripts or letters, including one dated by the consuls of AD 258 and issued from Neapolis, a letter of Gordian III to the authorities and people of Antinoopolis, and a text of Aurelian mentioning the Oxyrhynchites. The copy was made in the late 3rd century AD, apparently at Oxyrhynchus.

The consuls Nummius Tuscus and Mummius Bassus held office in AD 258, under Valerian and Gallienus; the copies themselves date to the later 3rd century. Imperial names in the headings are largely restored.
