« The dediticii in P.Giss. 40 I 7–9. Akten der Gesellschaft für Griechische und Hellenistische Rechtsgeschichte|(28) Symposion 2019 Akten der Gesellschaft für griechische und hellenistische Rechtsgeschichte Band 28| », Elektronisches Publikationsportal der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschafte, ID : 10670/1.27l1g8
The paper holds that the dediticii ([δε]δειτίκιοι) mentioned in the famousConstitutio Antoninina (P.Giss. 40 I 9) are to understand as slaves who wereseverely punished by their masters and afterwards manumitted. The lex Aelia Sentiaexcluded these freedmen of any kind of Roman citizenship (Gaius, Inst. I 26). Thisview, so far advanced only by a minority of scholars, seems to be backed now byMacedonian manumission inscriptions. Therefore, the attempt to restore the lacunaein the papyrus according to the tabula Banasitana seems to be misleading.
