Narrative of a legal dispute involving a former soldier TM 27745Alexandria oder Arsinoites

A fragment, probably from a petition or a speech in court, telling the history of a long dispute. An opponent pursued 'our man', a former soldier, through several proceedings before the iuridicus Neokydes, the prefect, and the dioiketes Julianus, who appointed a certain Domitius as mediator and judge.

In English machine translation

The dikaiodotes is the Roman iuridicus of Alexandria, a senior judicial official; the logothesia was an audit or settlement of accounts. The reference to 'our man' suggests the text may be an advocate's statement or a petition drafted on someone's behalf.
