Dear categorists,

Let C be a category with a distinguished sub-category E and a
distinguished family S of morphisms
such that for every object x of C there is a unique morphism f_x: x
---> e_x with e_x an object of E
so that the following conditions are satisfied: (1) if x is in E then
f_x = 1_x (the identity morphism
of x), (2) if s: x ---> y is in S then e_y = e_x and f_x = f_y s.

Hasn't this simple situation been named and incorporated in some
publication on category
theory? A reference would be most appreciated.
