Notes on the Text

The texts appear to be fragments of official declarations or guarantees ("ἐγγυᾶσθαι") addressed to a local official ("στρατηγός") named Aurelius Dionysius, also known as Herakleides. The documents originate from a certain village or locality within a nome (administrative district) in Egypt. The declarants affirm voluntarily ("ἑκουσίως καὶ αὐθαιρέτως") their guarantee of someone's appearance ("ἐμφανείας") before the authorities. The exact details and names are fragmentary and incomplete.
