Description	P. Harris 2 208: Declaration of (church) property This fragment (7 x 8.7 cm) of a declaration of goods (presumably by a church) is precisely dated to 14 Mecheir (Μεχεὶρ ιδ, line 12), as well as the 20th and 12th year of Diocletian and Maximian, and Constantius and Galerius. Dating to the Diocletianic Persecution, this sheet can be placed four days after the near-identical declaration of church property P.Oxy. XXXIII 2673 (copy A), possibly even written by the same hand. The present fragment is missing a significant portion of the top, matching lines 22–33 of the Oxyrhynchus document. When compared with P.Oxy 33 2673, it misses the word αὐτοκρατόρων in line 6 here (line 27 there).
