Eingabe wegen ungerechter Liturgiebelastung via HGV-meta
Petition against unjust imposition of liturgies as dike overseer and elder. Petition to an official complaining that a man forced the petitioner to oversee and pay for dike work on the man's own land, and then removed his own wealthier son-in-law from the post of village elder and appointed the poor petitioner instead. The petitioner asks for a hearing against him. Dated 9 November 118, probably from Hermopolis. machine translation

[...]
[...] having come forward
[...] ... me
[...] ... to my friend
and having contracted me (?)
for the aforesaid (works?) and
[...] to him about him, he appointed
[me] overseer of a dike on his own
land, and so that ...
he compelled me to make the expenditure from my
own means, until I recover it.
Furthermore, his son-in-law, having been appointed elder
and having performed the
liturgy and having sacrificed a calf
at the Kaisareia,
he afterwards removed him
and appointed me elder, though I am poor and he is richer.
Therefore I ask you, lord and
benefactor, that I be heard against
him, so that I may receive your benefaction. Farewell.
Year 3 of Imperator Caesar
Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, Hathyr 13.

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.
