The article is the first edition of an edict in the form of a letter from the prefect Q. Aemilius Saturninus (in office circa 197/8–200 ce) to the strategi of the Heptanomia and Arsinoites, copied on the back of a sheet cut from a land register attesting the monartabos-tax, probably from the Oxyrhynchites. The fragmentary edict, apparently in part a cover for a further letter to a beneficiarius, mentions praiseworthy conduct by the latter in connection to a shortfall in the tax grain. A synthesis of the new text with other evidence for Saturninus as prefect is also presented.
