EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Flavius Abinnaeus, prefect of the ala of soldiers of the camp of Dionysias, from Flavius Aunes, veteran among those honourably discharged, landowner in the village of Hermoupolis. A few days ago, for what reason I do not know, certain evildoers, acting like robbers, came by night upon my house and carried off whatever I had in that house, and up to now I have found nothing of what was stolen. For this very reason I ask and beg your benevolence that you arrest the eirenarch and the public officials of the same village of Hermoupolis and compel them to bring the evildoers before you, and then refer what I have written to the knowledge of my lord the dux, for it is his task to punish those who dare such things. And having obtained this I shall acknowledge my gratitude to you, lord. Farewell. I, Flavius Aunes, have submitted this. In the consulship of our masters Constantius for the 4th time and Constans for the 3rd time, Augusti, Pachon 6.

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.
