Description

P.Stras. VII 638: End of an ecclesiastical document.
The fragment preserves the last lines of a document written in 3 different hands. The nature of the document remains unclear but the subscriptions are those of officials of the "catholic church", the last one being from a deacon, probably bearing caution to the deed.

About the names in l. 3 (--ltes, Euangelos and --), see Martin 1996: 649, n. 43 (= BL XI 256) and Wipszycka 1996: 207 (= BL X 257).
