Fragment of a sworn declaration about the good character of Sokrates son of Sarapion TM 16329unbekannt166 - 172

Fragment of a sworn declaration made under oath by the fortune of the emperor Marcus Aurelius, apparently guaranteeing that a man named Sokrates son of Sarapion was of good life and had never been proscribed by the former prefect Marcus Sempronius Liberalis. It was submitted by Horion and a co-declarant, Ammon (?), between AD 166 and 172.

In English machine translation

The name of the former prefect Marcus Sempronius Liberalis is largely restored; proscription here means being publicly posted (e.g. as a wanted or condemned person) by official notice.
