Document type notes
In the style of a diploma: it begins with a solemn invocation, there is no address, and it is couched in the first person, using _Ego_, and the present indicative; it does not, however, conclude with solemn sanctions or anathemas, and witnesses do not subscribe, but appear in the usual charter form, with their names in the ablative.
