A fragmentary official letter from Aurelius Anoubion, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, to Aurelius Sarapion alias Apollonianos, a former strategos of part of the Arsinoite nome. It concerns an order of the prefect Aurelius Septimius Herakleitos to strategoi and royal scribes about registering documents and sending records to Alexandria within a set deadline, and a report from the office staff that something had not been registered.
