| Description | P.Amh. II 140: Declaration of sitologoi Two copies of a declaration in the same hand, both much mutilated; but a combination of the evidence of the two produces the text almost complete (140.1 better for the recto; 140.2 better for the verso). It is a declaration on oath, addressed to Aurelius Diodes, praepositus of the 12th pagus of the Hermopolite nome, by three sitologoi and an inspector, stating the sums they had collected and paid into the official bank as the tax on certain mines. Date and signature of the illiterate sitologoi are written by Aurelius Hatres, inspector (gnoster). On the verso of 140.2, there is a cross preceding the title of the document according to the edition [no image available from the collection as the papyrus is glued on cardboard]. Fast cursive handwriting running along the fibres. |
