Register of official documents concerning a tax matter TM 20937Thebais (?)

Fragment of an official document, apparently an index or register of filed papers on tax matters, citing documents by roll and sheet number. It mentions petitions, officials of equestrian rank including the epistrategos Septimius Patrophilus and the former epistrategos Vettius Gallianus, and a woman Bienchis acting through her husband Serenos. It probably comes from the Thebaid.
