Notes on the Text

The text is fragmentary and partially reconstructed. The consulship mentioned is that of Flavius Stilicho (second consulship) and Anthemius, dating the document historically. The Arsinoite nome refers to a region in Roman Egypt. The text appears to be a formal greeting or letter from ecclesiastical authorities (bishop Eusebius Papnouthios and Aurelius Dioskoros).
