Fragment of a strategos' day-book TM 30337Oxyrhynchos1. Hälfte III

A small fragment from the beginning of lines of what has been identified as a day-book (official journal) of a strategos, the chief administrator of a district. Only scattered words survive, including a mention of something sacred, the name Aurelius, an afternoon, and the strategos himself. It comes from Oxyrhynchus, first half of the 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

The word read as 'afternoon' (deilen) and 'royal' (basilik-, possibly the royal scribe) are uncertain given the broken context; the day-book identification rests on such phrases recording the official's daily activities.
