A small fragment of a Greek document from Roman Egypt that mentions a man named Aquila, refers to the emperors (Severus) and Antoninus, and speaks of money received on loan and of handwritten loan contracts (cheirographa). It dates to AD 206-211.
"Antoninus" here is probably Caracalla as co-emperor with Septimius Severus, which fits the date range. "…batianus Aquila" may be a Roman official such as the prefect Subatianus Aquila (AD 206-211), who would explain the dating.
