Schreiben eines Epistrategen der Thebais betreffs der Episkepsis via HGV-meta
Letter of an epistrategos concerning the inspection of sown land. Part of an official letter, probably from the epistrategos of the Thebaid, about the inspection (episkepsis) of sown land. He says reputable men from other nomes will be chosen to remeasure the crops where necessary and urges the recipients to ensure that local people are not burdened, overcharged or falsely accused during the inspections. It probably dates to AD 119 and comes from Hermopolis. 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.
