Fragment from the opening of a formal document addressed to a villager of Andromachis in the Arsinoite nome by Flavius Ploutammon, a former city magistrate of Arsinoe, acting through his steward Kyrillos. Only the address survives; the body is lost. It dates to the 4th century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] […] son of Anneous, his mother being Atola, from the village of Andromachis in the Arsinoite nome, from Flavius Ploutammon, former magistrate (propoliteuomenos) of the city of the Arsinoites, through Kyrillos, steward (pronoetes) […]

The addressee's own name is lost; only his father Anneous and mother Atola survive. A propoliteuomenos was a former holder of municipal office in the city council, and a pronoetes was an estate manager or agent; such openings often belong to leases or receipts issued by landowners rather than private letters.
