Public Declaration to the Praeses Thebaidos via HGV-meta
Public declaration disclaiming involvement in collecting the chrysargyron. A public declaration addressed to the governor of the Thebaid by Aurelius Psais son of Peteminis of Kellis in the Great Oasis. When the tax officials nominated ten villagers to collect the chrysargyron, a tax on traders, Psais formally dissociated himself from the collection so that he could not later be held liable.

To Flavius Domitius Asklepiades, the most illustrious comes, flavialis, governor, from Aurelius Psais son of Peteminis, from the village of Kellis in the Mothite nome, greetings. The collectors and the assessors of the merchants' tax in gold and silver (chrysargyron), nominating ten men from the same village so that the collection might be entrusted to them and be carried out through them, […] and […]. But I, taking care lest at some time […] and I be found accused, became entirely a stranger to this matter, and in order that this should become clear to all and […] that I be considered blameless and not liable, I post this publicly, securing myself and […] that […] the collection […] takes place […] I have had any share with those […] at all.
In the consulship of our lords Constantius Augustus for the 9th time and Claudius Julianus Caesar for the 2nd time […]

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.
