Privileges of Paeanistae via HGV-meta

Imperial rescripts on the privileges of the paeanistae. A copy of imperial rescripts concerning the privileges of the paeanistae, a religious association of hymn-singers. A reply of Septimius Severus and Caracalla to Sarapion son of Didymos confirms their rights and forbids innovations, and is followed by an earlier letter of Hadrian ordering, apparently, that the paeanistae be exempt from taxes. The copy was made at Oxyrhynchus in the 3rd century AD. 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.
