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 Aurelia Ataris, daughter of Melas, veteran, landowner in the village of Hermopolis. On the third of the epagomenal days, using I know not what reason and in the manner of a robber, at about the tenth hour, when I was demanding the debt owed to me, he shut me up in his house, together with the son of Horion, named Apion, and the same Pol, surnamed Obellos, and his sister Kyriake; and I took flight from his house. […] myself to the point of death […] I lie bedridden. For this very reason I ask and beg your benevolence to arrest these men and send them to our lord the dux; for it is his task to punish those who dare such things. And obtaining this I shall acknowledge my gratitude to you, lord. Farewell. I, Aurelia Ataris, have submitted this. In the consulship of our masters Constantius for the 4th time and Constans for the 3rd time, Augusti, Thoth 1.

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.
