[…] to the (city) of Antinoos, of those allotted (?) and […] allotment […] to be exempt from the [poll-taxes] […] for fourteen years […] only the simple (rate).
[…] women of Antinoopolis, the investigation [having taken place], Magnus, the former prefect, having examined [the matter] in a hearing through minutes on the 1st of Phamenoth, [among other things] concerning those of this category gave judgement as follows: Magnus: […] Egyptians with Antinoite women […] remain, that they make (them) Antinoites […] that they themselves are liable to the poll-taxes […] to them […] pay the poll-taxes at the simple rate; but I consider them to be like the others […] he has granted, permitting them to remain here where they reside […] other poll-taxes, the simple (rate) of one […] the auditor of the nomarchy […] having set out concerning the examination of such persons […] the simple poll-taxes, from those nomes to be transferred here so that they pay them in Antinoou, where they also reside, in accordance with what was decided in the report submitted by those in charge of the examination of this matter. Since the persons listed below from the nome under you, [stating that they] have the right of intermarriage with Antinoite women, and through petitions which they submitted to me declaring that they have paid the poll-taxes with you up to […] and, as they say, have receipts, and requesting that you be written to so that, in accordance with the decisions, they be relieved and transferred here, I write to you, dearest, so that you may examine whether they pay poll-taxes with you and take care to relieve them in accordance with the decisions, so that

I pray for your health, dearest.

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.
