Extract of a public notice of the royal scribe and acting strategos concerning Bakchias TM 14149Bakchias (Arsinoites)Roman CE iii, ca. 202-204 (Sep 28-Oct 28)

A fragmentary extract, copied from a public notice in the record office of public accounts, of an order issued by Kanopos also called Asklepiades, royal scribe of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, who was also acting as strategos. It concerns a report submitted by Gemellos about the village of Bakchias, apparently involving elders and a duty to be performed soundly and faithfully.

The royal scribe's name Kanopos is largely restored. The phrase 'soundly and faithfully' is typical of oaths or appointments to liturgical service, which the lost text may have concerned.
