Petition of a physician of Arsinoe complaining of harassment TM 10964Arsinoites1. Aug. - 27. Okt. 253

Fragment of a petition, probably to the prefect of Egypt, from Aurelius, a physician of the city of the Arsinoites, complaining of harassment, apparently involving the council, and asking for a just judgement. It is preceded by part of an imperial rescript or reference to imperial rulings, and dates to the reign of Aemilius Aemilianus, AD 253.

In English machine translation

The date rests on mentions of the short-lived emperor Aemilianus. Physicians could claim exemption from civic liturgies, which may be the issue behind the council's harassment.</br>
