Refusal to Accept Appointment as Eutheniarch via HGV-meta

Cession of property to avoid nomination as eutheniarch. Septimius Eudaimon, a gymnasiarch and councillor of Oxyrhynchus, protests to the prytanis Aurelius Pasion alias Apollonios against being nominated for days of the eutheniarchy (the office supervising the city's food supply). Invoking the procedure of cession, he offers to hand over all his property to the prytanis if the latter will undertake the offices and pay his taxes, dated 12 November 248. machine translation

[recto] To Aurelius Pasion alias Apollonios, former gymnasiarch, prytanis in office, councillor of the city of the Oxyrhynchites, from Septimius Eudaimon, gymnasiarch, councillor of the same city, son of Septimius Serenos, former exegetes and former prytanis of the same city. Since, contrary to the decrees made for me by the most excellent council on the terms on which I undertook the gymnasiarchy in accordance with my means, you nominated me today, which is the 16th, in the most excellent council for days of the eutheniarchy, I immediately put forward to you, in the minutes of the council, a cession, and now also by this petition I offer you the cession of all the property I possess, on condition that you take over my possessions and discharge on my behalf both the gymnasiarchy and the eutheniarchy and all the expenses that go with it, and furthermore also the grain and money taxes owed by me both for the possessions I own and for the part of an estate, formerly of Claudius Syrion, life-gymnasiarch of most glorious Alexandria, which I hold on lease. For all these taxes the wine produced from the lands has been pledged as security by the dekaprotoi. And having been asked the formal question, I agreed. Year 6 of the Emperors and Caesars Marci Iulii Philippi, Pious, Fortunate, Augusti, Hathyr the sixteenth. [verso] … to the sister (?)

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.
