- Title:
- Official Report (P.Hib. II 205, TM 5189)
- Scope & Content:
- Draft of an official report on a petition concerning the tax on vineyard. The author of the report summarises that, while those with less productive vineyards have paid the dues without protest, the present petitioners, farming more productive vineyards, object to the high rate, apparently encouraged by the nomarch Achoapis. Although Apollonius (chief minister of finances, dioiketes) had been in the area, no petition had been submitted to him.
