Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Foster’s translation reports that Vespasian fell ill with fever and died at Aquae Cutiliae in Sabine territory.
Limits: Dio 66.17 in Foster’s published English translation. The neighboring passage also records a poisoning-at-a-banquet account attributed to others, including Hadrian, which the narrator rejects as false. The AD heading is modern editorial dating, distinct from Dio’s reign-duration calculations.

O.Edfou 1 35 records Tryphas son of Nikon’s payment under the charge described as the value of two denarii of the Jews, with eight drachmas and two obols recorded and a separate first-fruits entry.
Limits: HGV locates this dated receipt at Apollonopolis; that provenance does not independently locate an earlier payment. The tax year and closing documentary date both give year 11. DDbDP cites O.Edfou 1 35 and C.Pap.Jud. 2 177.

O.Edfou 1.49 records the issuance at Apollonopolis of a receipt acknowledging Theodotos, also called Niger, in connection with the Jewish charge equivalent to two denarii for Vespasian’s eleventh year.
Limits: Pinned DDbDP transcription, IDP commit f37ebd1557a35262b7d057e50dfc6f197aefd453, compared with HGV; also identified as C.Pap.Jud. II 178. The quoted verb and personal name contain editorial expansions. The following line names Antonius Rufus without explicitly stating his relationship to the payer. HGV locates the receipt’s origin, not independently the underlying payment. No conflicting date appears in the supplied comparisons.
