The father of D. was reader there, and he himself ' debitor fisci" in virtue of his position as "curialis"(pp. 327, 329). 4 ' No heretic or pagan is to be found there: all the citizens are Christians." The continued existence of pagan conventicles at Oxyrhynchus, assumed by Wilcken (Archivf. Papyrusforschung, i. 3. pp. 407 f.), rests, in my opinion, upon a misinterpretation of...
