δεκάτου ἔτους Τραιανοῦ Καίσαρος τοῦ κυρίου Φαμενὼθ λ.
ἀναγνωσθέντος περὶ δαπάνης εἰς τὸ ἐκ καινῆς κατασκευαζόμενον
βαλανεῖον καὶ τὴν πλατεῖαν τάλαντα δέκα ἕξ, καὶ προσειπόντος
Ἡρακλείδου στρατηγοῦ καὶ ἄλλα μεταξὺ δεδαπανῆσθαι, Οὐίβιος
Μάξιμος· προσεκρίθη τῆι πόλει παρὰ Θέωνος πεντήκοντα τάλαντα
καὶ ἐκ τῶν τῆς γυμνασιαρχίδος ἄλλα δοκῶ μοι εἴκοσι. ἐκ τῶν προσκριθέντων τῆι πόλει ἀποκατασταθήτω. Ἡρακλείδης· τίνος καὶ
τίνος ὑπαρχόντων; Οὐίβιος Μάξιμος· ἔχεις ἐν τοῖς ὑπομνηματισμοῖς μου.
ἀντίγραφον ἐπιστολῆς.
Σουλπίκιος Σίμιλις Ἡρακλείδηι στρατηγῷ Ἑρμουπολίτου χαίρειν. Ἡρώδης Διονυσίου ἐνέτυχέ μοι
λέγων τοὺς σὺν αὐτῶι κατασταθέντας ἐπιμελητὰς βαλανείου ἀθέτους
εἶναι καὶ μὴ ἀναλογοῦντας τὴν ἐπιμέλειαν. εἰ οὖν ἄθετοί εἰσιν πέμψεις μοι
ἑτέρων ἐπιτηρητῶν ὀνόματα, περὶ δὲ τῶν τῆς πόλεως λημάτων ἐξετάσας δηλώσεις μοι. ἐρρῶσθαι εὔχομαι. ἔτους δεκάτου Αὐτοκράτορος Καίσαρος Νερούα
Τραιανοῦ Σεβαστοῦ Γερμανικοῦ Δακικοῦ […]Translations (1)
In the tenth year of Trajan Caesar the lord, Phamenoth 30.
When a report had been read concerning expenditure of 16 talents on the bath being newly built and on the street, and Herakleides the strategos had added that other sums had been spent in the meantime, Vibius Maximus said: "There was assigned to the city from Theon 50 talents, and from the property of the woman gymnasiarch, I think, another 20. Let it be repaid from the sums assigned to the city." Herakleides: "From whose property and whose?" Vibius Maximus: "You have it in my minutes."
Copy of a letter.
Sulpicius Similis to Herakleides, strategos of the Hermopolite nome, greetings. Herodes son of Dionysios petitioned me, saying that those appointed with him as superintendents of the bath are unreliable and do not carry out their superintendence properly. If therefore they are unreliable, you will send me the names of other overseers, and concerning the revenues of the city you will investigate and inform me. I pray for your health. Year 10 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus […]

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.
