Lettre via HGV-meta

Letter from Menas to the village headmen Dioskoros and Apollos about overdue taxes. A letter from Menas, probably the pagarch of Antaiopolis, to Dioskoros and Apollos, headmen of the village of Aphrodito, around AD 553. He warns them that unless they deliver the full tax quota by the next day there will be consequences, noting that the estate of the former prefect Julian has already paid, and summons Dioskoros to come with Apollos to speak with him. machine translation

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] † The most God-beloved deacon has informed me of absolutely nothing concerning your village, and look, the great landowners of the city, namely the estate of the most glorious former prefect Julian, which contributes to the village assessment, has already paid its quota in full, and so has given me no worry about them. So that you may know that unless by tomorrow you bring out to me the quota of both the city and the village assessment in full, you will have no reason to be grateful for the outcome, look, I have written to you as a formal warning. And come together with Apollos, since I urgently want to speak with you. [verso] † To the most esteemed Dioskoros and Apollos, protokometai, † Menas.

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.
