1 To Isidoros, strategus, from Dionysus, son of Apollodorus, son of Dionysius, of Oxyrhynchus,
public physician.
5 I was today instructed by you, through Heraclides your assistant, to inspect the body
of a man who had been found hanged, named Hierax, and to report to you my opinion
upon it. 11 I therefore inspected the body in the presence of the aforesaid Heraclides at the
house of Epagathus, son of ...merus, son of Sarapion, in the Broad Street quarter,
and found it hanged by a noose, which fact I accordingly report. (Translation: from P.Oxy. 1 with modification)
