Cession of cleruchic land (?) involving Gaius Iulius TM 16288unbekannt

Fragment of a Greek document involving a Roman citizen, Gaius Iulius son of Gaius of the Fabian tribe, and land of fifteen (arouras?) formerly belonging to Kriton, located in the third hipparchy of the hundred-aroura cleruchs. It seems to record a cession of land, dated by a thirtieth year of Caesar, probably Augustus.

In English machine translation

[…] of Gaius Iulius, son of Gaius, of the tribe Fabia […] […] to those formerly of Kriton according to the […] […] thirtieth (year) of Caesar […] […] of the aforementioned Classicus and Asiaticus […] […] from the third hipparchy of the hundred-aroura holders […] […] fifteen, whose neighbours are declared […] […] the same man will hand over (?) these also […] […]

The 'hundred-aroura men' were military settlers (cleruchs) originally holding 100 arouras each, organised in units called hipparchies. The 'thirtieth year of Caesar' would be 1 BC/AD 1 if Augustus is meant, and the identification of the document as a land cession is tentative.
