POxy 1464

POxy 1464 (or P. Oxy. XII 1464) is one of four examples of "libelli" found at Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. The manuscript declares the date — the first year of the emperor Decius, whose full name was Gaius Messius Quintus Traianus Decius. We know the first year of his reign was 250 AD. The day and month are also given as the third of Epeiph or Epip in the Coptic calendar. So this "libellus" was issued on 27 June 250 AD.
