Commentary
Perhaps to be identified with the Hesychios in C.70 etc. q.v., or even with the family of Synesios whose eldest son was called Hesychios. See also C.43, C.65, C.74, C.73, with a slightly later hand. The function of these names is perhaps to express ownership; it is not quite clear whether they refer to two people or one man with two names.
