Note
Papyrus Br. Mus. CCLX. is a poll-tax register of AD.72-3, based on the Household-Enrollment of 61-2; and references to older poll-tax registers are made, which imply previous Enrollments. In fact the register is part of an existing system of some standing. [The Household-Enrollment of AD.20 has just been discovered: see Preface].

[47] Mr. Grenfell notes, "for seem to have been' you might say were': there are hundreds of instances to show it".

[48] Mr. Kenyon notes, "returns of live stock are separate".

[49] The Romans, who counted both initial and final years in each period, would have called it a Fifteen-Years'-Cycle; it was held in years 1, 15, 29, etc. We call that a Cycle of fourteen years.

[50] So Kenyon writes correcting Wilcken's published statement. In Syria women, as well as men, paid; and the age was fourteen for men, twelve for women, until sixty-five, Ulpian, Dig., L. 15, 3.
