Brief des Präfekten via HGV-meta

Prefect's letter on a Roman and Alexandrian's exemption from the office of collector. A letter from the prefect of Egypt Flavius Titianus to the strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, forwarding a petition from a man who, as a Roman citizen and Alexandrian, objected to being nominated as tax collector and should be released. It is followed by an excerpt of earlier court proceedings before the prefect Syriacus in which an advocate cites prefectural grants of exemption from liturgies. 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.
