Description

Petition addressed to Aurelius Sarapion, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, by the sons and heirs of Aurelius Papontheus, who were trying to collect a 34-years old debt that an Aurelius Horos contracted from their father. By this petition, they forward to the strategos the directive from the archidikastes (l. 5-8), written in compliance with their request to him (l. 9-48), which itself included a copy of the original loan contract (l. 15-33). A copy of the present petition was to be served on the debtor, which would constitue an order to pay which the debtor was required to meet within ten days.
