p.iand.7.139 Oxyrhynchos

[recto] […] strategos [of the Oxyrhynchite nome] […] and to Serenos alias Sarapion, royal scribe, from Theon son of Ammonios grandson of Theon, from the city of Oxyrhynchos, formerly dike-overseer together with another Theon son of Ammonios, his mother being Isidote daughter of Dios, now deceased. With regard to the item of the Idios Logos communicated for examination from the assize of year 11, of which there is a copy in roll 19, sheet 119, through the documents belonging to the month of Mecheir of the same year 3: Papontos alias Diodoros, called Longinus, village scribe of Teis and other villages of the Thmoisepho toparchy, reported that 2 sycamores on the dike formerly supervised by Dionysios son of Phmois near Teis had fallen through the force of the wind, valued at 246 drachmas each, and likewise from the great embankment another 2 sycamores near the same village had fallen as a result of a breach that occurred, likewise valued at 277 drachmas each. In order that it be examined in the manner stated above, it was communicated, and the examiners declared that the village scribe had under oath reported all the foregoing, first that they had fallen through the force of the wind at the time when they were reported, and that 840 drachmas had been confirmed, and in what followed he had added that those from the great embankment had been shaken loose by the breach. In order that it be made clear for what reason it was not reported by the dike-overseers, it is brought forward. I declare, swearing by the fortune of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, that it is not customary for such matters to be reported by dike-overseers, for which reason I did not report it; otherwise may I be liable to the oath. [Year 11], Mesore 28. [v] Communication made to the examiners. [Year 11, roll] 19.
