Note 387 — Chapter XXI · THE LEGAL POSITION OF THE JEWS IN THE LATER EMPIRE
Reading edition
The theory advanced by Wilcken-Mitteis (Grundzüge und Chrestomathie der Pap. vol. I.) that all who paid a poll-tax were dediticii, and therefore excluded from the Const. Ant. is wholly gratuitous. There is no evidence whatever connecting the dediticii with the poll-tax.
