Document Details : Title: Greek Tax Receipts from Abydos in the British Museum Author(s): ALMÁSY-MARTIN, Adrienn , DUTTENHÖFER, Ruth Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 56 Date: 2019 Pages: 79-93 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.56.0.3286647 Abstract : No Greek ostraca from Abydos, an otherwise well-known and well-studied site, have been published to date. The British Museum, however, has in its collection a few Greek ostraca that come from Abydos, and six of these, which were found in the Middle Cemetery by Ayrton and Loat in 1908/1909, belong to the same person, Petermouthis, son of Harsiesis. These receipts from the reigns of Domitian and Trajan show for the dike tax (chomatikon) the standard rate of 6 drachmas 4 obols and for the poll tax (laographia) the reduced rate of 8 drachmas. |
