Petition of priests against conscription of temple boys for dike work. Fragmentary petition from priests of a notable temple in the Arsinoite nome under Hadrian, complaining that, though exempted from dike work, their boys are being taken from the priests for dike labour. They ask that the prefect be informed, stressing that the boys' instruction, ordered by Hadrian, serves the Nile flood and the eternal order of the emperor. machine translation
