Minutes of a town council meeting with nominations and acclamations TM 16931Oxyrhynchos (?)

Fragmentary minutes of a meeting of a town council, probably at Oxyrhynchus, recording a speech by the prytanis (council president), the acclamations of the councillors, and the nomination of men such as Dionysios and Serenos to some duty. It is dated by a double regnal year 3 and 2, in the month Hathyr.

In English machine translation

The double regnal year points to joint emperors of the later 3rd century AD. 'Oceanus' and 'upright, trustworthy' are standard council acclamations; the 'anachoretikon' seems to concern people who had fled their obligations.
