Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 134

I 134) is the second in a series of Oxyrhynchus papyri (133–139) concerning the family affairs of Flavius Apion, his heirs, or his son.

[1] The document consists of an acknowledgement given to Flavius Apius by John, a chief stonemason, that he had received one gold solidus.

In exchange, John agrees to transport 200 blocks of stone to a cistern (λάκκος) on Flavius Apion's estate.

Grenfell and Hunt note that in 1898 some ancient stone quarries to the north of Oxyrhynchus were still being worked.
