Proceedings before the governor of the Thebaid about a curator for a minor TM 18367Hermopolis (Hermopolites, Ägypten)298 - 300

Fragment of the minutes of a court hearing before Athenodorus, governor of the Thebaid, concerning the appointment of a curator for a minor girl, daughter of Claudianus, whose brother had guardians Timagenes and Helladios. A woman named Demetria demands proof of how some property came to the opposing party, and the governor refers the matter to an appointed judge. It dates to AD 298-300, from Hermopolis.

In English machine translation

The record is bilingual: the framework of speakers is in Latin, the speeches in Greek, as was usual in late Roman court minutes. A curator (kourator) oversaw the affairs of a minor past the age of guardianship, distinct from the guardians (epitropoi) of younger children.
