bibliography            

Papyrus (21 x 8.3 cm) now in the Papyrological Institute in Leiden (inv. 65). This document pertains to the removal of a deceased man's name from the list of those who contribute to the cloak tax, an imperial tax in the form of linen.

To my lord and brother Alexander, the monthly officer, and to the fellow-members (koinōnoi) of the guild (ergasia) of carpet-workers (tapētarioi), the registrar (systatēs) sends greetings. I have removed the name of Antinous son of Herakleides with respect to the cloak tax (anabolikon) of the thirteenth indiction. I have nothing unaccounted for him regarding that tax. I, Herakleios, the registrar, have signed. Dated: 14th of Choiak.
