Γάιος Αὐίδιος Ἡλιόδωρος ἔπαρχος Αἰγύπτου

Copy of a public notice posted at Memphis:
Gaius Avidius Heliodorus, prefect of Egypt, declares: Since many people at the recent assize complained about the officials in charge on account of the liturgies, it seemed necessary to me to inquire of those who complained whether they mean that some persons have been sheltered (from service), since the wrong does not lie in some people being given over to public duties, but in some being stolen away and made entirely exempt from liturgies, while others are burdened with many duties imposed either all together or one after another even before they have had a rest. [Therefore] I have decided to ask all those who said that some persons had been sheltered (to submit) the names by the edict […]

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. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 17153 (see that record)
