Title Letter of fishermen to a strategos
Author Faustos, son of Kephalon and Tauris, Amois, son of Kallios and Herais and O[ ], son of NN and Didyme
Summary Gragment of a communication to Asclepiades, who is already known as startegos of the Oxyrhynchite nome in the year 129 A.D. The desire of the fishermen is not clear, but the document does not seem to be a petition. It could be the same kind of document as PSI VIII 901, a declaration of the fishermen of Tebtynis from A.D. 46
