Declaration for the epikrisis of a home-born slave TM 78616Oxyrhynchos100 - 101

A woman of Oxyrhynchus, acting with her guardian, declares to the strategos Dios that Petheuris, a home-born slave she owns jointly with her brother-husband Thonis and their relatives, has reached age 13 and should be examined (epikrisis) for the privileged 12-drachma poll-tax status. She also attests that her owner-husband Thonis, a temple hieroskopos, is himself a 12-drachma payer. Written around AD 100-101.

In English machine translation

Epikrisis was an official scrutiny of status; slaves of privileged metropolites could share the reduced 12-drachma poll-tax rate. A hieroskopos was a temple official, probably an inspector of sacrificial victims.
