p.oxy.12.1405 236 - 237Sinkepha (Oxyrhynchites)

Rescript of Severus: Application to a Strategus via HGV-meta

Imperial rescript on cession of property and declaration of cession to a nominator. A copy of an imperial rescript of Severus (posted at Alexandria) ruling that a person who cedes his property to avoid a liturgy cedes it to the nominee who takes over the liturgy, not to the treasury, without loss of status. It is followed by a declaration to the Oxyrhynchite strategus Aurelius Leonides by Aemilius Stephanos of Sinkepha, who, nominated as collector of village money taxes, invokes the rescript to cede his property to his nominator Aurelius Amois. 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. 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.
