This book has a double purpose: to edit, using papyri in the Austrian National Library, a municipal archive of Hermoupolis Magna known only by the handwritten transcriptions of C. Wessely in 1905 (Stud. Pal. V) without translation or commentary; and to reveal, using this firsthand source from an Egyptian metropolis with close ties to the emperor Gallienus, the contrasted situation between 264 and 268, just before his assassination.

The Papyrus Collection in Vienna is the largest of its kind in the world. The Austrian National Library owns about 180,000 papyri written in Greek, Egyptian, Coptic, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, Demotic and Pahlevi, dating from the 2nd millennium BC to the 15th century AD. The first volume of Corpus Papyrorum Raineri (CPR) appeared in 1895.
