    Imperator Caesar Trajanus to the Smyrnaeotes. I wish no one from the free cities to be forced into (performing) your liturgy, and especially no one from Aphrodisias, since that city has been removed from the formula provinciae so that it is not liable either to the common liturgies of Asia or to others. I release Tiberius Julianos Attalos from (performance of a liturgy in) the temple in Smyrna; (he is) a man who has the highest testimonials from his own city; and I have written about these matters to Julius Balbus, my friend and the proconsul.
