Fragment of a grapheion register from an Oxyrhynchite toparchy TM 19379Oxyrhynchites25. Juli - 23. Aug. 208

A fragment from a register kept by a record office (grapheion) of a toparchy in the Oxyrhynchite nome, dated by the joint reign of Septimius Severus and his sons. Only the imperial titulature, place names such as Panetbeus, and a few phrases of an agreement made by a woman survive.

In English machine translation

The deleted word 'Caesar' likely reflects the erasure of Geta's name after his murder in 211. A grapheion was the local office where contracts were registered.
