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 →

Opening of a petition addressed to the archidikastes, the chief judicial official in Alexandria, by a citizen of Antinoopolis. Only the address survives, with a mention of a synchoresis, a type of contract registered in Alexandria, which apparently underlay the complaint. It dates to the 2nd century AD.

The archidikastes's titles follow the standard formula and are largely restored. A synchoresis was a contract drawn up in the form of an agreement submitted to the Alexandrian court.
