Letter 109
Pliny the Younger→Pliny the Younger|c. 112 AD|pliny younger
Trajan to Pliny.
The legal position of the cities of Bithynia and Pontus, in getting in moneys which may be due to them for any reason, must be determined by consulting the special laws of each city. If they possess the privilege of ranking as preferential creditors, it must be respected ; if they do not, then I will not think of granting it to the detriment of private creditors.
