T h e edition contains 17 d o c u m e n t s : 12 of t h e m are of legal in-terest. № 1 (87 A.D.) is a οπόμνημα of some priests; t h e y complain t h a t t h e fisc requires f r o m t h e m 276 d r a c h m a s , as a price for their prophet-office although their p r o p h e t office is h e r e d i t a r y a n d therefore t h e r e can be required only t h e είσκριτιχ,όν. Our d o c u m e n t resembles Stud. Pal. X X I I 184 (140 A.D.) a n d is of i m p o r t a n c e for t h e u n d e r s t a n d i n g of t h e distinction between h e r e d i t a r y a n d non h e r e d i t a r y priest-offices (Tebt. 294; Gnom. § 77. 78). № 2 (248 A.D.) is a petition of a married couple, citizens of Antinoo-polis; t h e y apply to have their child b r o u g h t u p on t h e cost of t h e state. This was a privilege granted b y the E m p e r o r H a d r i a n t o the citizens of Antinoopolis. I n order t o e n j o y this privilege, t h e children h a d to be reported on t h e 30 d a y of their b i r t h and t h e r e p o r t m u s t be a t t e s t e d b y γνωστηρες. I t is interesting t h a t in our d o c u m e n t only t h e m o t h e r is in possession of t h e citizenship of Antinoopolis, t h e f a t h e r being a m e m b e r of t h e senate of He-racleopolis. I t is known t h a t marriages between citizens of Anti-noopolis a n d non citizens were p e r m i t t e d (cf. W. Chr. 27). Our p a p y r u s shows t h a t children born in such unions became citizens (cf. m y Law I 79/80). № 3 (279 A.D.) contains a regular απογραφή of an u n n a m e d woman concerning an estate inherited f r o m her m o t h e r (cf. K r e l l e r , Erbr. Unt. 142). № 4 (280 A.D.) is a peti-tion t o t h e prefect to give approval t o a p r i v a t e cessio bonorum, caused b y some financial difficulties (cf. m y Law I 405). № 5 (305 A.D.) is t h e beginning of a marriage c o n t r a c t in which t h e m o t h e r gives her d a u g h t e r in marriage (cf. m y Law I 114). Our d o c u m e n t is particularly r e m a r k a b l e because it mentions lex Pa·

only in connexion with birth· reports. Lex Julia de maritandis or-dinibus, closely related w i t h lex Papia Poppaea is indicated only in t w o p a p y r i : P S I 730 a n d Mich. I n v . 508 + 2217. As t h e lex Papia Poppaea is mentioned, we m u s t accept t h a t our t e x t is a transla-tion of a L a t i n formula, p r o b a b l y of t h e same formula which was used in t h e above mentioned P S I 730 a n d Mich. I n v . 508 + 2217 (cf. t h e ed. p. 20). We f i n d in our t e x t t h e consent of t h e bride (v. II) παρουσαν καΐ ευδοκούσαν προς γάμου [κοινωνίαν]; this is pro-b a pro-b l y again t h e t r a n s l a t i o n of an analogous L a t i n f o r m u l a (cf. t h e ed. p. 21). On t h e question whether t h e consent of t h e filia familias was a prerequisite of t h e validity of her marriage cf. ed. p. 21/22. № 6 (250 A.D.) is a διαγραφή on a sale of catoecic l a n d ; t h e sellers, brothers a n d sisters are acting μετά κουράτορος (cf. m y Law I 134); on δια της εν Έρμου πόλει μισθωτών τραπέζης cf. m y Laie I I 90s; on Achillianos, t h e oldest among t h e relatives, who is privileged in t h e inheritance see m y Law I 139. N r 7 (225 A.D.) is a sale of a slave (partly published, SB 5274, 5833). T h e words (v. 16) καθ·' υπομνήματος πρυτάνεων ώστε άποδόσθαι την δοόλην show t h a t in this period a permission of t h e prytaneus to t h e alienation of a slave (cf. ed. p . 34; cf. also m y Laiv I 59) was necessary. № 8 (332 A.D.) is a lease of palm-land; t h e singularity of t h i s lease consists in t h e prescription t h a t t h e r e n t shall be smal-ler in t h e f i r s t t h e n in t h e following years. № 9 (331 A.D.) is a lease of a garden with olive-trees; № 10 (IV cent. A.D.) is a frag-m e n t a r y lease of land, № 11 ( I — I I I cent. A.D.) a receipt of r e n t . № 12 (286/7 A.D.) is a loan in παλαιον πτολεμαϊκον νόμισμα, t h a t means in currency n o t affected b y inflation (cf. t h e ed. p. 47). № 13 (IV cent. A.D.), a n account where the δοϋξ and t h e πραιπόσιτος (sc. praepositus pagi) are "mentioned. № 14 (IV cent. A.D.) is a n order to repair a b o a t , given p r o b a b l y b y a procurator rei privatae (cf. t h e ed. p. 55).
