p.ant.2.96 VII
Letter via HGV-meta
Letter with news of officials and a request for fish. A fragmentary 7th-century letter, probably from Antinoopolis, reporting local administrative news: demands on a surveyor and a tax official, the awaited arrival of officials of a new dux, and the death of the advocate Nonnos son of Epiphanios. The writer also begs the recipients to send him some fish, since the local fishermen sent their whole catch to the count. machine translation

[…] […] already been made known […] concerning the superintendence (epistasia) of […] you having taken charge from the eighth of the month. And since I remember (?) […] all of you […] from me on account of Christodoros the surveyor, and you asked to demand from him the solidus which he is accustomed to give to the pagarchs, and also to demand from Mouses, one of the kephalaiotai, the jars of honey and of salted fish, since he needs them. But up to today the common landowner has not written. I expect today a letter from his Magnificence, that is Choiak 11. No word was given to the lord Dionysios nor to the lord Phoibammon the cancellarius, and as word of John […]. The one expected to come and administer the office of the new dux is also the master diatagmatarios. For this man who has now come is his adiobantes. Besides what you have heard, Nonnos the scholastikos, the son of Epiphanios, has died; and he was carried out (for burial) from the departure of the diatagmatarios, that is from the eighth. If anything is written here, I will inform you. And for God's sake send me a little fish, either for keeping (?) or for the frying pan, since I cannot find any here. For the fishermen here have sent everything to the count at Antinoou. Menas asks me to write to you about his shirt and […]

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 36081 (see that record)
