To Flavius Abinnaeus, prefect of the ala of the soldiers of the camp of Dionysias, from Flavius Priscus, veteran of those honourably discharged, and Alia, wife of Heron, soldier in the sacred comitatus, landowner in the village of Philagris. On the 25th of the present month Pauni, lord, while I was not present but my wife alone was staying in the house, certain criminals came upon the house by night in the manner of robbers and, having made a tunnel, carried off whatever both I myself and my wife (had). For this very reason I ask and beg your benevolence that you arrest the public officials of the village and compel them to bring before you those who committed the robbery, and then refer what we have written to the knowledge of our lord the dux; for it is his to punish those who dare such things. And obtaining this we shall acknowledge our gratitude to you, lord. Farewell. We, Flavius Priscus and Alia, have submitted (this). In the consulship of Flavius Placidus and Flavius Romulus, the most illustrious, Pauni 29.

About this record's data
  • From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
  • AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
  • Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
  • Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
  • Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
