Fragment mentioning a village scribe and the dioiketes TM 25598unbekanntI - IV

The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

A small fragment of a Greek papyrus from Roman Egypt mentioning a scribe, a village scribe and the dioiketes (financial administrator). Phrases such as "we made" and "we pay back" suggest an official or administrative matter, possibly a petition or declaration, but too little survives to be certain.

In English machine translation

[… 2 lines lost …] […] of the (royal?) scribe […] […] of the village scribe […] […] of all […] […] … day (?) […] […] we made […] […] … and the […] […] … of the dioiketes […] […] … to the lord (?) … […] […] … we pay back (?), but […] […] … to continue … […] […] … depositing (?) […] […] … […]

The dioiketes was a high financial official. Only the middle parts of the lines survive, so the document type cannot be determined.
