EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Flavius Abinnaeus, ex-protector, prefect of the ala at the camp of Dionysias, from Aurelius Heron, deacon, from the village of Berenikis of the same nome, greeting. If the truth of the laws did not exist for us, we would long ago have been destroyed by the evildoers. Now then, Euporos son of Hermeias, from the village of Philagris of the same nome, robbed me inside my house, breaking in like a bandit, and took all the clothing and carried it off to his own place, up to the present, although I am able to bring proofs that he has committed this crime. Therefore I ask, lord praepositus, that what he snatched from me be returned to me without trouble; for I happen to be a deacon of the catholic church. And having obtained this I shall be grateful to you forever. Farewell. After the consulship of Flavii Sergius and Nigrinianus, the most illustrious, Mecheir 17.

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.
