Abstract

THE BOYAH AND THE NOMINATION TO THE APXAI IN THE MHTPOIIOAEI Σ OF ROMAN EGYPT*) BY E. P. WEGENER § 5 Cessio bonorum It is obvious from the question which the prefect Appius Sabinus puts to one of the advocates of the villagers in P. Lond. 2565, 56 f.: 8rxaiwwa [E]xovQw ot that a candidate who appeals to the central government must have a legal ground to do so. Here are some such leaal grounds which may be adduced by a magistrate 11 3) . The system of protection, a common complaint nowadays, was not alien to the ancients either. The doxai were very burdensome, and for this reason, if possible, one did not nominate one's friends as such. Therefore the prytanis of P. Ross. Ceorg. II 40 states explicitly that he shall act to the contrary In fact it was a valid argument by which one could claim exemption, if one could prove that the nomination was made from enmity 115). A law of Septimius Severus provided that villagers were exempt from liturgies in the metropoleis i16) , This provision has frequently been infringed by the senate of Arsinoe by nominating villagers to *) See S.
