Fragment of a 6th-century Greek text, probably from the Hermopolite nome, apparently a record of a legal dispute or a complaint. It mentions a man's senselessness and public insults, a certain Christodoros, a woman's riparius (police official), a most magnificent archon, and events on the nineteenth of a month involving a house.

The riparius was a late antique local police official. The classification as a judicial debate is tentative; the text could also be a petition.
