EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] To Aurelius Antoninus, centurion, from Stotoetis son of Anchophis, from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos. I suffer violence continually at the hands of a certain Hekysis, also called Euporas, from the same village, who, having done many other things against me, and moreover having entered into marriage with my kinswoman […], defrauds me in every way in our common property, an arrogant man. On top of this, when I was in a state of sluggishness (?), he forced me to make a written security for him, threatening that if I did not do it he would make an attempt on my life. Since there is such arrogance in him, and I am unable to endure it, I submit this petition and ask that he be brought for a hearing. For on the appointed day I will also prove other things greater than these. Farewell. Year 25 of Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Thoth 30. [verso] […]dios […] […]

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.
