Petition of a priest of Soknopaios concerning the estate of Harpagathes TM 9348Soknopaiu Nesos (Arsinoites)ca. 161

Fragmentary petition to Hierax, strategos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, from Pakysis son of Stotoetis, a priest of Soknopaios at Soknopaiou Nesos. It concerns a letter of Vernasius Facundus and the estate of the late Harpagathes, whose will is alleged to breach rules of the prefects and the Idios Logos, as he was a debtor of the treasury, while another man holds all his property.

In English machine translation

The Idios Logos was the Roman office administering irregular and confiscated property; estates of treasury debtors could be claimed by the state. Vernasius Facundus was likely a Roman official whose letter forwarded an earlier petition.
