- Scope & Content:
- Letter from the nomarch of Antinoopolis to the royal scribe of the division of Polemon in the Arsinoite nome informing him about the perfect’s decision concerning taxes. Four men who had married women of Antinoopolis and had consequently moved there had complained with him about double-payments made on account of the poll-tax. The prefect decided that taxes should be paid in Antinoopolis, where the men resided, and payments already made should be brought over to their place of residence. The names of the four men followed by their origins are appended.
