- Title:
- Petition against Nomination to a Liturgy (P.Leit. 5, SB VIII 10196, Pap.Choix 11, TM 11615)
- Scope & Content:
- Petition to the epistrategus Claudius Xenophon submitted by Orsenouphis, son of Orsenouphis, from Tebtynis, complaining about his nomination as a collector of money-taxes (praktor argyrikon), which he is unable to sustain owing to his financial situation and poor health. Orsenouphis explains that some years before he was appointed village elder, but was released from the office because of his lack of means. The public notice of Phocion, strategus of the Arsinoite nome, divisions of Themistos and Polemon, issued in 168 AD and releasing him from the office, is enclosed. A copy of this notice is preserved in P.Mil.Vogl. inv. 777.
