Minutes of proceedings before Apion Theodosios Iohannes, governor of Arcadia, in which Pamouthios, an assistant of the records office, reads a petition complaining that several debtors, including Phib, Lisabet, the priest Phoibammon and Kollouthos, refuse to settle with him. The governor orders the office to remind them and summon them to court if they object. From Oxyrhynchos, around AD 488.
In English machine translation
The protocol is in Latin and the spoken parts and petition in Greek, typical of late Roman court minutes. Riparii were local police officials; the verso docket labels this as part of their file.
