Apart from its historical import- ance this relic, with the exception of the tablets found at Pompeii, containing scine accounts of a banker there, is the most valuable specimen of Romancaligraphy extant.

The old soldier Ind probably been re cruited in Egypt, because it is known that before the Jorish war the Fretensis Legion was stationed there. He retired with his three children to and his days at the little town of Philadelphin in the Fiyum. There, amid the ruins of bia house, among a num. ber of papyrus documents of the second -century, the panel ha doubtles prized was found. This would seem to show that the residence was occupied by his children after his decease. Many lean military diplomas, somewhat similar to this one,
