- Translation
- [Extract from] the responsa of the deified Severus and [Antoninus]. [After] other matters the pertinent part: Lollianus [said], "There are various [taxes] in the nome, of which he [is] the lessee; [but] he burdens the tenant farmers and exacts [the] monodesmia on the [uninundated area]. Now, as [the . . .] of the taxes ought [to be leased out] through the boule [and the] rest imposed upon the land, I think(?) [. . .] more [. . .] than one man [. . .] such great [. . .]." Antoninus Augustus [said], "Then 'the tax(?)' will be [imposed] upon the wealthier [[ [And if so], the [admitted(?)] connivance of the bouleutai will not burden [the] poor peasants.]] 'so that the peasantry may not be burdened in this as a result of the connivance of the bouleutai'."
