| Description | P.Cair.Preis. 20: List of liturgists. List of liturgists who are residents of the East Town quarter of Hermopolis and perform their liturgies in that quarter of the city, with the addition of the names of their guarantors. The list includes someone called Makarios, son of Soïs, deacon (l. 20: Μακάριος Σόϊτος διάκ(ων)). It is not sure whether this should be interpreted in an ecclesiastical sense, since, on the basis of an imperial ruling of October 313 AD (Codex Theodosianus XVI 2), the clergy were exempted from liturgies. The name Makarios may point to either a pagan or Christian background. The editor suggests that the most simple explanation for the inclusion of a deacon is the provisional character of the list, which allowed for the elimination of flaws afterwards (Salomons 2014, intro). |
