Letter of councillors of Arsinoe to Aurelius Alypios about payments TM 30120Ptolemais Euergetis (Arsinoites)III - IV

Fragmentary letter from several councillors of the city of the Arsinoites, including Aurelius Kyrillos and Antonios Sarapammon, to their fellow councillor Aurelius Alypios, a former magistrate. It concerns money paid out, apparently connected with the council chamber, and instructs that payment be made in full. It was written at Ptolemais Euergetis (Arsinoe) in the 3rd or 4th century AD.

In English machine translation

The farewell formula is repeated three times, apparently written by different senders in their own hands. 'Paid out' renders exodiazo, a term for official disbursement of funds.
