Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 3929, kept at the Sackler Library, Oxford.
"This document belongs to the category of certificates of sacrifice issued to those who satisfied the pagan commissioners during the Decian persecution of Christians," according to Oxyrhynchus Papyri. It was issued somewhere between 25 June and 24 July, in the year 250, according to the same source. The text must supply the month Epeiph of the Egyptian calendar, but the day is either not supplied, indistinct, or lost.
Text
gollark: Not sure what 1 means.
gollark: The second one appears to be caused by less work (→ less income taxes, having to subsidize furlough stuff etc), and less economic activity generally (→ less tax), as well as having probably significant expenses on doing testing and tracing and all that.
gollark: I mean, stuff got more expensive for a bit, and I had to switch to pasta I liked less, but it mostly seemed to be fine.
gollark: Is it just me or did the predicted COVID-19 supply chain disruption not actually really happen?
gollark: It's a brain[REDACTED]-derive esolang.
