A small fragment of an official document from Late Antique Egypt mentioning a defensor (ekdikos), a village scribe, a summons to go up to the city, indictions, written memoranda and village headmen. Its exact purpose cannot be recovered.
The ekdikos (Latin defensor civitatis) was a city official charged with protecting citizens and hearing minor cases. Indictions were 15-year fiscal cycles used for dating and taxation.
