| Description | P.Lips. I 38; M.Chr. 97; Ch.L.A. XII 520: Judicial hearings Hearings of a trial held before the praeses of Thebaid. The content is unclear but the following persons are involved: Melitius (?) and Iosephus (?) with the lawyers Nilammon, Demetrius and Herod, and on the opposite side Hatres as an agent of Aurelia Matrona with Cenuthius and Dorotheus, Sarapion and Curus. During the hearings, a written order (entole) from Aur. Matrona to Hatres is read out loud including the stipulatio by Matrona and subscription by Paulos, acting as her hypographeus. Two crosses (noted as "Schnörkel" in ed.pr. but as "christlichen Kreuze" in M.Chr. 97, l. 6n) are marking the end of the reading of this entole in the transcription. The following lines concern the summoning of Kapiton vouching for Matrona. The hearings are written over two columns (of which the first one has been missing since 1978) in Greek with speech introductions in Latin; the script, written in a chancery hand, runs along the fibres. |
