Minutes of a hearing before the strategos Claudius Didymos alias Gemellus in the Arsinoite nome, AD 124. Stotoetis accused Satabous and three others of murdering his brother, but his two female witnesses, like earlier ones, said they knew nothing, and the strategos had this recorded.

In English machine translation

[…] [Copy of another] likewise. Year 9 of Hadrian Caesar the lord, Thoth 20, in the case of Stotoetis son of Pekysis against Satabous son of Pekysis and Satabous son of Stotoetis and Pekysis son of Satabous and Stotoetis son of Panephremmis. Stotoetis stated that he had accused Satabous and his associates of murder in the case of his brother, and that those able to bear witness to the murder were present; and Satabous and his associates replied that previously others produced by him had testified to nothing of the kind. The strategos to Stotoetis: "On the former occasion too you proved nothing, and not even the witnesses produced by you admitted knowing of the murder. But so that I may satisfy myself now as well, let those whom you are bringing come forward." When Sietous daughter of Harpagathes and Taouetis daughter of Satabous came forward, the strategos asked whether they knew anything about the murder. When they declared that they knew nothing, Claudius Didymos also called Gemellus, strategos, ordered that this be entered in the minutes.

The text is a copy of court minutes, introduced as 'another (extract) likewise', apparently following an earlier one in the same document. The strategos's second name is printed as Geminus in the edition; Gemellus is the usual reading.
