Small Latin fragments of uncertain nature from Egypt, dated to the 2nd century AD, possibly from one or more Roman military documents. Only a few personal names (Iulius, Valerius, perhaps Afer), some numerals and a reference to a consul survive.
The museum record describes four fragments, while the edition presents three (A to C). The roman numerals cciii and dccc may be figures or parts of dates, but their context is lost.
