Fragment of the minutes of a legal hearing before the prefect of Egypt, recording several of his statements, a reading of documents, and mention of the emperor and a 'divine gift', apparently an imperial grant. From Oxyrhynchus, late 3rd century AD.
Only the left side of the lines survives, so the subject of the case is unknown. 'Divine gift' refers to an imperial donation or grant.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
