Small fragment of a document addressed to an Aurelius and apparently to the council of the most splendid city of the Hermopolites, from Hermopolis in the mid-3rd century AD. Only scattered words survive, including the names Apollo[…] and Harpokration and a possible reference to an assistant or subordinate official.

In English machine translation

[…] most splendid (?) […] to Aurelius […] […] of the Hermopolite (nome?) […] greetings. […] Apollo[…] […] the (most) power[ful] (?) […] […] […] […] Harpokratio[n …] assistant (?) […] […] […] part (?) […] [… ? lines lost …]

The identification as a text addressed to the council rests on the restored opening words; [hy]pēre[…] may refer to an official's assistant (hypēretēs) or to service (hypēresia).

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment d'un texte adressé au Conseil). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
