p.oxy.64.4437 Talao (Oxyrhynchites)
Rescript of Severus; Application to a Strategus via HGV-meta
Imperial rescript on cession of property, with application to a strategos. Copy of a rescript of the emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla, posted at Alexandria, ruling that a man who cedes his property to escape a compulsory public service must cede it to the person who nominated him, not to the imperial treasury. It is followed by the opening of an application to the strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome by Aurelius Herakleides of Talao, who had been nominated beyond his means as collector of village money taxes and evidently invokes the rescript. machine translation

θεοὶ Σεουῆρος καὶ Ἀντωνῖνος Καπίτωνι Ἑρμοφάντου.
εἰ, ὡς φῄς, διὰ τὸ βάρος τῆς λειτουργίας παρεχώρησας τῶν σεαυτοῦ, εὔλογόν ἐστιν μὴ τῷ ταμείῳ ἡμῶν
τὴν παραχώρησιν γενέσθαι, ἀλλὰ τῶ σὲ εἰς τὴν
λειτουργίαν ἑλομένῳ, ὃς ἀναλαβών σου τὰ ὑπάρχοντα τὸ τίμημά σου τὸ πολιτικὸν παρέξει καὶ τὴν λειτουργίαν ἀποπληρώσει. τὸ γὰρ ταμεῖον ἡμῶν τῶν
τοιούτων παραχωρήσεων οὐκ ἐφίεται, οὐδὲ
ἡ ἐπιτιμία σου βλαβήσεται οὐδὲ εἰς τὸ σῶμα ὑβρισθήσει. προετέθη η ἔτους Μεχεὶρ ἐν Ἀλεξανδρείᾳ.

The deified Severus and Antoninus to Capito son of Hermophantos.
If, as you say, you ceded your property because of the burden of the liturgy, it is reasonable that the cession be made not to our treasury but to the person who nominated you to the liturgy, who, taking over your possessions, will provide your civic assessment and will fulfil the liturgy. For our treasury does not accept such cessions, nor will your civic status be harmed, nor will you be outraged in your person. Posted in year 8, Mecheir, at Alexandria.
To Aurelius Leonidas, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Aurelius Herakleides son of Petronios, his mother being Plutarche, from the village of Talao. Having been nominated beyond my means by Horos son of Horos, his mother being Kalamine, to the collectorship of the village money revenues of the same Talao […] and places […] to hold out […] through you […]

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.
