bgu.1.5

Ision, son of Dioskouros and Mystarion, knowing himself [in need], instead of [losing] the talent [due to some burden], he offered [...] the copies rendered […] to Onias, [...], being [then] a native of the aforementioned village, owning a paternal portion of a house, courtyard, and entrance and exit, granted in the second year of the god Titus. It is declared that Thermoutharion and the village scribe similarly stated that no income belonged to the aforementioned [person], as the other was a [different] possessor bearing the mother's name Thenatreius. We declare the stated portion of the house, courtyard, entrance, and exit not to belong to the recorded Mios [same name]. [There is a] contract [...] until the 43rd day. This [agreement] documented through the same memos on the 23rd of the month of Phaoph in the second year, Achilleus sons of Origen raised a complaint against Heron, son of Kronion, and Herodes and Areios and another Areios, brother of Heron, that they had signed a contract on the 10th of the month of Hathor in the first year, but in [certain] months they [had] convened to Alexandria and given oaths not to have done. Heron declared the opponent to be the one not having sailed down [to Alexandria], themselves being in Alexandria giving an announcement to the judge and petitioning before the strategos, and having submitted a document in the 22nd year of Pharmouthi, second Achilleus signed. The opponents did not arrive, [...] sent [others], and being in illness they dispatched a document to the judge, due to [divisions] petitioning until the 10th of the month of Hadrianus in the second year, and Heron requested, and Achilleus by Herakleides solicited an oath to be taken in Alexandria concerning [the grove's boundaries]. It seems they will swear and sign the same for Achilleus until the month of Hadrianus in Alexandria. An examination took place [following] this examination, and the scribe Tryphon announced [his findings], and it was known to himself, Hierakos Sosikomos, and Althaios Sosikos that being Alexandrians, the word [was given] to Heron, son of Kronion, and Herodes and Areios and another Areios, brother of Heron [...] recorded [...] Heron’s grandfather, an examination was conducted. Another [of us], of public accounts, [and others of] different times, of whom the rest followed in the records.
