Abstracts of Contracts (P.Oxy. XIV 1648, TM 29012), and Acta Appiani (P.Oxy. I 33, P.Lond.Lit. 119, Chrest.Wilck. 20, TM 58945, LDAB 40)
- Scope & Content:
-
Recto (P.Oxy. XIV 1648, TM 29012): Late-second-century register containing abstracts of contracts and other transactions concerning the property of a family, deposited in the archives of Oxyrhynchus. The transactions include sale of slaves, house-property and land, tax-receipts, a loan, divisions of property. The Yale portion was part of another papyrus and presumably comes from a different office; it preserves a register of confiscated land and dates to Commodus’ reign (180-192).
Verso (P.Oxy. I 33, TM 58945): Acta Appiani, latest of the Acta Alexandrinorum (corpus of sub-literary papyri concerned with the hearings of prominent Greek Alexandrians before the Roman emperors, often ending in the torture or death of the delegates), with report of the hearing held in Rome before the emperor Commodus involving a certain Appian, gymnasiarch in Alexandria and ambassador. The grain trade between Alexandria and Rome is concerned. Appian is led away for execution twice. The text includes dialogues and short narrative parts to introduce direct speech.
Another fragment is now in the Beinecke Library, Yale (P. CtYBR 1536 (B)).

Portion of a papyrus roll another fragment of which is in the Beinecke Library, Yale; with some surface damage throughout; bearing writing on both sides. On the front, there are portions of four columns running along the fibres, the last being fragmentary. The papyrus was then cut to size and pasted onto other discarded papyrus to host the text on the other side. On the back there are five columns of 14-15 lines each, written across the fibres; the Yale fragment preserves the rest of the first column and the two preceding columns. The modern annotation in red refers to the publication in P.Oxy. I. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.
