Rescrit via HGV-meta

Imperial rescript on taxes of Aphrodite withheld under Theodosios. Fragment of an imperial rescript addressed to high officials concerning a complaint from a man of the village of Aphrodite. He reported that the taxes of the eleventh indiction were collected by or under the most magnificent Theodosios but not paid to the treasury, so the villagers faced double collection; the emperor orders the officials to investigate and, if the complaint is true, not to permit it. It dates to about September-October 548 and belongs to the archive of Dioscoros. machine translation

About this record's data
  • From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
  • AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
  • Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
  • Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
  • Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third.
