Rescript of Severus; Application to a Strategus via HGV-meta
Imperial rescript on cession of property and application to a strategos. A copy of an imperial rescript of Severus Alexander ruling that a person ceding his property to escape a liturgy must cede it to the person who takes on the liturgy, not to the treasury, followed by an application by Aurelius Thonis to the strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome. Nominated as collector of grain dues, Thonis cedes his property and asks that the nominating official be notified, citing the rescript. Oxyrhynchos, AD 229-235. machine translation

[...] you ceded [...] [...]
[...] it is not to our treasury that the cession should be made but to the one [nominated?] to the liturgy [...]
[...] you, who, taking over your property, will provide your civic assessment and will fulfil the liturgy. For our treasury does not aim at such cessions. Your civic status will suffer no harm from this, nor will you be maltreated in your person. Posted in Alexandria, year 8, Mecheir.
To Aurelius Leonides, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome,
from Aurelius Thonis son of Ptolemaios, mother [...], from the same city. Since Aurelius [Heliodoros], amphodogrammateus, by the [list he submitted], serving in the liturgy for the coming [year ...], on the past day nominated me for the collectorship of grain dues of the katoikoi of Thmoisepho in the toparchy of Tholthis, and I am altogether unable to bear the office, I cede whatever (property) of mine he may find, [and I ask], submitting to you this petition concerning the matter, to which I have prefixed the divine constitution, that you send a copy through one of your attendants to Aurelius Heliodoros, so that, at the risk attached to his nomination and in accordance with the unassailable provisions, he may take note that he must undertake the office on my behalf by means of whatever of mine he may hold [...] year [...] of Imperator Caesar [Marcus Aurelius] Severus [Alexander] [...]

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.
