Αὐρηλίῳ Ἥρωνι στρατηγῷ Ἀρσινοίτου

To Aurelius Heron, strategos of the Arsinoite nome,
from the Aurelii Taesis and Kyrillous, both daughters of Kopres, from the village of Karanis. Our father, best of strategoi, at the end of his life left movable goods. His brother Chairemon, having pocketed everything he left, handed over to us, women, public grain-bearing arouras, to us who are unable to meet the dues on the arouras. We then also approached the man who was at the time protostates of the village, Serenos also called Harpokras, and he ordered him to hand over to us all the things left by our father. But he takes no heed of us, and for this very reason, having listed the things left, we ask and beseech your benevolence to order Chairemon himself to hand these over to us, so that we may be able to have the benefit of our own property. Farewell.
The goods are: 61 full-grown sheep, 40 full-grown goats, 1 grinding mill, and 3 talents of silver, and 2 artabas of wheat, and two slaves, of whom he has sold one slave woman.

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.
