P. Cair. Mich. III, 4712/26/B17F/A, Petition to the Prefect about Release from a Liturgy
Shereen Abdelghany Aly;
Abstract
This volume contains editions of 35 texts, which have been excavated nearly 100 years ago in the ancient Egyptian village of Karanis.
As all texts written on papyrus from the Egyptian countryside, these texts give a new insight into the life of the people who dwelled in a typical village of the Roman period in Egypt. The texts show the cultural diversity of those who cohabitated, whether they had Greek or Egyptian names, whether their main gods were the crocodiles or Zeus. In the lives of all of them tax-paying played an important role, as well as caring for their cattle and fields, doing business, and fulfilling the obligations of the Roman government. In particular interesting is the personage of Socrates the tax-collector.
