Opening of a Ptolemaic document from Oxyrhynchos, preserving part of the dating formula by the regnal year of a king Ptolemy styled Philopator Philadelphos, with an abbreviated reference to the eponymous priesthoods as recorded in Alexandria. Only fragments of the following lines, including names, survive.

[Fragment C]
In the reign of [Ptolemy, the god Philopator]
Philadelphos, year […]
and the other matters [of the common formula as in Alexandria]
are written, in the month […]
seventh […] [in Oxyrhyncha]
polis of the Thebaid […]

[…]
The epithets Philopator Philadelphos point to Ptolemy XII; the formula 'the other matters as written in Alexandria' abbreviates the list of eponymous priests. The placement of Oxyrhyncha 'of the Thebaid' is unusual and depends partly on restoration.
