Report from a priest of Sebennytos on assessments of grain land TM 9254Arsinoites173 - 174

Fragment of a document addressed by a priest of the village of Sebennytos to Potamon, strategos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, concerning the itemized individual assessments (apaitesima) on grain land for the 14th year of Marcus Aurelius. It appears to be a report or declaration submitted in AD 173/174.

In English machine translation

The apaitesima kat' andra were lists of amounts to be demanded from individual taxpayers; the opening lines appear to be a heading repeating the subject of the following report. The phrase 'through public' probably refers to public officials or public land, but the text breaks off.
