bgu.2.473 ca. 215Arsinoites
Petition citing an imperial rescript on cession of property. A petition from Aurelius Kastor son of Serenos to the strategos Aurelius Apollonios also called Soter, prefaced by a copy of an imperial rescript of Septimius Severus and Caracalla. The rescript rules that people who have surrendered their property (cessio bonorum) are freed from civic and private liabilities and keep their civic standing, and the petitioner invokes it to be left undisturbed.

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.
