Appeal for exemption from liturgy (?) citing court minutes TM 26493Arsinoites (?)II - III

Fragment of a petition or appeal, apparently seeking release from an obligation, that cites earlier official orders and appends a copy of court minutes in which the advocate Sarapion speaks, mentioning a Ptolemaios who was a victor in the sacred games. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD and probably comes from the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

Victors in the sacred games (hieronikai) enjoyed privileges such as exemption from liturgies, which may explain the appeal. The identification as an appeal for exemption from liturgy is tentative.
