Beginning of an official letter from Aurelius Keotion son of Hermeinos, apparently a town councillor, to Julius Iupetatus Scylacius, former hypomnematographos and strategos of the Upper Sebennytes nome. It concerns the appointment of two overseers (epimeletai), but breaks off after a few lines; late 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

The hypomnematographos was a high Alexandrian official, here the strategos's former office. Epimeletai were overseers appointed to supervise particular public tasks or supplies.
