A Roman stilus writing tablet, 145 by 110 mm. and almost complete, made of cedar or silver fir, was found in 1986 during rescue excavation by the Museum of London in Throgmorton Avenue. It was preserved with other organic material in the second-century Roman embankment east of the Walbrook. No wax remains, but much of the 13-line cursive text can be deciphered from the traces left in the wood by the stilus. It is a legal document dated 14 March A.D. 118 relating to the disputed ownership of a piece of property situated in civitate Cantiacorum (thus settling any modern dispute about the spelling of this tribal name), which is located by pagus and neighbouring road and properties. Ownership is claimed by one Lucius Iulius Betucus, but unfortunately the text breaks off in mid-sentence: 'L(ucius) Iulius Betucus testatus estse. . .'. This is the longest such text yet found in London, which still presents problems of interpretation; it is also hoped that improved techniques may recover more of the text. Full publication, therefore, is reserved until a later date.
