| Description | SB VI 9527: Petition Sheet of papyrus preserving the left part of a petition submitted to the police authority (riparii) of the Arsinoites nome by Aur. Timotheos, pronoetes of the revenues of the catholic church of Alexandria under the archbishop Theophilos. He complains about Sarapion and Trimoros, two subordinate pronoetai of the church properties in the village of Boubastos because they have not fulfilled their obligation to render accounts. He asks the civil authorities to arrest the church's employees and send them to the city so that they could be compelled to discharge their duty to their employers. Upright cursive script running against the fibres. Fournet and Gascou 2004: 190 note that the size of the lacuna on the right part of the document was underestimated in ed. pr. making most of Gerstinger's restitutions disputable. They present corrections and announce a new edition. |
