Abstract:In this article I argue that P.Mil.Vogl. 6.287, a private fragmentary excerpt made from the official journal of Roman court transcripts constitutes the first genuine protocol of a trial of Christians lacking any later alterations or embellishments. I further reason that the papyrus scrap of unknown provenance and housed today in the papyrus collection of the University of Milan belongs to the middle of the third century ce. The fragmentary lines transmit the decision by the judge, probably the Roman governor of Egypt, rendered in direct speech, the Roman style of recording court proceedings. The defendants were accused of conspiracy (συνωμοσία). Of the defendants names survive Soter, son of Sotas, Sotas, son of NN, and Dioscorus, son of Origenes. The latter is synonymous with one of the very few known Christians from third-century Egypt, the Alexandrinian Antonius Dioscorus, son of Origenes, residing in the metropolis Arsinoe around the middle of the third century.

总督面前的 Soter、Sotas 和 Dioscorus：罗马审判基督徒的第一份真实法庭记录？

摘要：在本文中，我认为 P.Mil.Vogl. 6.287，从罗马法庭记录的官方日志中提取的私人片段摘录构成了对基督徒进行审判的第一个真正的协议，没有任何后来的改动或修饰。我进一步推断出处不明的纸莎草碎片今天收藏在米兰大学的纸莎草收藏中，属于公元三世纪中叶。断断续续的行传达了法官（可能是埃及的罗马总督）在直接讲话中做出的决定，即罗马记录法庭诉讼程序的风格。被告被指控串谋（συνωμοσία）。在被告中，索塔斯的儿子索特、NN 的儿子索塔斯和 Origenes 的儿子迪奥斯科鲁斯幸存下来。后者是三世纪埃及极少数已知的基督徒之一的同义词，
