E02292: Greek payment of oil, from Oxyrhynchos (Middle Egypt), to a presbyter of a martyr shrine of *Ioustos (presumably the soldier and martyr of Antinoopolis, S01172), datable to the 5th century.

P.Oxy. 10 1311

This short note does not make it clear whether the payment is intended for the presbyter personally, or as a donation to the saint's martyr shrine.

The text runs as follows:

εἰς τὸ ἔλαιον τοῦ ἀποτακτῆρ(ος(?)) Ἀνιανός πρ(εσβυτέρου) μαρτυρ(ίου) Ἄπα Ἰούστου

'For the oil of … Anianos, presbyter of the martyr shrine (martyrion) of Apa Ioustos.'
