XXIII.—On a Latin Deed of Sale of a Slave; 24th May, A.D. 166
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2012
Extract
In the year 1893 the British Museum acquired a remarkable Latin deed on papyrus, which, it is believed, was found a short time before in the Fayyum of Egypt. (Plate XLIV.) As in many particulars it is of unusual interest, I submit the following description to the Fellows of the Society.
