Petition of Dionysia to the Praefect
Description
Part of a petition addressed by Dionysia, daughter of Chaeremon an ex-gymnasiarch of Oxyrhynchus, to Pomponius Faustinius, praefect in the 26th year of Commodus. The complaint of Dionysia, which is directed against her father Chaeremon, falls into two parts. The first five columns narrate the history of the monetary dispute, while the next two and a half deal with the right claimed by Chaeremon to take his daughter away from her husband against her will. The last column and a half revert to the monetary dispute.
