Two notifications addressed to Taroutillius, the official responsible for registering catoecic (settler) land, reporting cessions of land under Domitian. In the first, a man reports a cession made through him by his minor daughter Heraiske; in the second, Demetrios son of Kallias of Sinary reports land ceded to him by a certain Eutych[…]. Both break off before the details of the land.
