Petition of a Dike Supervisor via HGV-meta
Petition of a dike-overseer to the prefect of Egypt about the Kynopolite dikes. A petition to the prefect of Egypt, Aurelius Ammonius, from Aurelius Diogenes also called Eulogios, a former magistrate of Oxyrhynchus serving as dike-overseer for the Kynopolite nome. He describes his tireless work on the dikes with Lykarion, the appointment of water-guards and the handover to council appointees, and stresses that he never left the dikes; the request itself is lost. machine translation
