SUMMARY:Taxation in Fourth Century Egypt:
DESCRIPTION:The lecture will focus on the peculiar case of P.Giss. II 
 128\, a text that concerns taxes that are assessed on the basis of the
  kephale concept. In this context\, kephale\, the Greek word for “he
 ad,” was probably used as an abstract unit of land. This method of t
 axation is poorly attested and raises a number of questions. The lectu
 re will address the following questions: (1) What was kephale in the E
 gyptian tax system? What was its value? How was it used to calculate t
 he rate of payment? (2) What was the relationship between the kephalai
  and the rates of payment? Why were some taxes assessed on the basis o
 f kephalai and the others on the basis of arourae\, the traditional me
 asure of land in Egypt? (3) How was the commonly used capitatio et iug
 atio system applied in Egypt? A discussion of these topics will also p
 rovide insight into other tax issues\, including tax deduction and reb
 ates\, surcharges\, and accounting.
