Fragment of an official record from the Arsinoite nome concerning property of a man named Deios wrongly registered as subject to state supervision of estate land. At an inquiry, Nikarion alias Tasoucharion swore that her predecessors had bought Deios' vineyard shares near Bernikis Aigialou under Hadrian, before the property was seized in year 18.

[Column 1] […] […] to have received (?) the assessed revenue for the property actually belonging to him, and that later, since the village scribe of the village in whose territory the plots lie reported that the property of Deios had been listed in error by the village scribe before him, because it had been sold before the seizure under the supervision, and that the revenue entered against it ought to be relieved of the amount collected until it is examined whether it was sold before the seizure into the supervision, and by whom, and on account of what property he was handed over to the service, that he had seized (?); and at the examination Nikarion also called Tasoucharion, daughter of Heras son of Apollonios, registered in the Gymnasium quarter, with her guardian, her kinsman Isidoros son of Sokrates, agreed under oath that her predecessors in ownership, Isidora daughter of Isidoros son of Eudorion and her daughter Dionysia daughter of Ptolemaios son of Chairemon, had bought from the aforementioned Deios something (?) in the […] year of the deified Hadrian, on the 30th of the month Hadrianos, by a private contract which was also registered by public agreement in the same year on Tybi 21, near Bernikis Aigialou: a half share of a vineyard of […]2 1/8 arouras, and another half share of a vineyard of 2 arouras, and likewise a half share of vine land of 1 aroura and of Greek reed-land of 1/8 aroura, before Deios was handed over to the supervision; for it was later, after the stated property had been sold, that it was seized into the supervision of the leasing of estate lands of Ptolemaios son of Kronios in the month Pauni of year 18, and as proof of this she submitted a copy of the said public agreement made […] […] [Column 2] […] […] […] into […] […] […] […] […] […] […] […]

The epiteresis was a liturgical supervision of revenues, here of ousiac (former imperial estate) leases; seizure of a liturgist's property secured his liability. Year 18 is presumably of Hadrian or a later emperor; the document is mid-2nd century AD.
