Application for the Alexandrian ephebate via APIS-papyrus

Application for admission of a son to the Alexandrian ephebate. An application by Pelops son of Pelops, an Alexandrian citizen who had himself been an ephebe under Vespasian, asking the exegetes and prytaneis of Alexandria to have his son Pelops examined and admitted to the Alexandrian ephebate in the 17th year of Trajan (AD 113/114). He notes that the boy's mother Sarapias, also a citizen, is away in the region south of Memphis. machine translation

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.
