Edict of a prefect of Egypt concerning Antinoite citizenship TM 16452Oxyrhynchos249 - 250

Fragment of an edict issued by a prefect of Egypt, apparently arising from a case he heard involving a woman, and concerning people who evade obligations, perhaps by moving into Antinoite citizenship. It sets a deadline of 30 days and dates from the reign of Trajan Decius, AD 249-250, found at Oxyrhynchus.

In English machine translation

Citizens of Antinoopolis enjoyed privileges such as exemption from liturgies elsewhere, which may explain why people sought to transfer to it; the edict's exact provisions are lost in the gaps.
