Description | Gonis 2015, no. 10: Deed of surety. Lower-right part of a deed of surety for a number of stolarchai, probably a liturgical undertaking. We have the end of the document proper, followed by the subscriptions of ten guarantors. The notarial subscription, by the nomikos Hermanoubis, is preceded and followed by a staurogram. The writing is along the fibres; scattered traces of ink on the back. |
