- Title:
- Excerpt from a Record of Proceedings (ChLA III + XLVIII 213, TM 99306), and Tax Account (TM 99307)
- Scope & Content:
-
Recto (TM 99306): Excerpts from a record of proceedings in Latin according to P. van Minnen in CLTP*; letter or minute of audience according to R. Marichal in ChLA III 213 recto, probably before the governor of the Thebaid (name and title in Latin are lost). The word exempla (line 1) shows that the text is a copy. It can be supposed that the monks here involved did not know Greek, as their response is given through the exsecutor (assistant of the court) Nicantinous. The date mentions the consulship of two emperors, which points to the early decades of the 5th century AD, i.e. to the reign of Theodosius II.
Verso (TM 99307): Tax account (breouion) of the staff of the rationalis in Greek in several columns and listing various taxes followed by amounts stated in carats, arranged by village. Unpublished.
