Copy, taken from an official roll of the office handling debts owed to foreign creditors, of an application by Dion alias Akousilaos. He states that a 1,000-drachma loan of Vespasian's year 8 remained unpaid by the deceased Harpalos, that notice was served on the heirs Amois and Pamyris without response, and he now proceeds to seizure of property. Dated Mecheir 9 of Domitian's year 8 (early AD 89), probably from Oxyrhynchos.
