Lettre via HGV-meta
Letter requesting release of a woman from prison to harvest her land. A fragmentary 6th-century letter asking an official addressed as 'your most illustrious brotherliness' to release from prison a woman, the descendant of the late Herakleianos son of Gesios of the village of Psinomounis, on sureties from free men or shepherds of the village. The writer argues that she must harvest her land so the state's revenue does not suffer, as she has no one to manage her affairs. machine translation

τῆς αὐτῆς κώμης Ψινομούνεως ἢ τῶν ποιμένων τῆς αὐτῆς, ὅπως εὕρῃ τὴν συγκομιδὴν
ποιήσασθαι τῶν αὐτῆς ἀρουρῶν, καὶ μὴ ἀφανίσθῃ ὁ σπόρος αὐτῶν εἰς βλάβην τοῦ δημοσίου,
μὴ ἔχουσά τινα τὸν τὰ καθʼ ἑαυτὴν διοικοῦντα. πολλὰ γὰρ […] περὶ τοῦτο παρεκλήθην
παρὰ τῶν συνηθῶς ἡμᾶς προσκυνούντων, ὧν τὴν αἴτησιν κατὰ Θεὸν οὐχ ηὗρον ἀπειπεῖν,
ἀλλὰ μὴ ἀμελήσεις τοῦτο καὶ ζημιώθῃ τὰ γενήματα καὶ εὑρέθῃ τὸ δημόσιον σκάζον.Translations (1)
[…] to your most illustrious brotherliness […] the letter, to release
[…] the descendant of the late Herakleianos son of Gesios, from Psinomounis, who is in the prison
of the […] the sureties of free men
of the same village of Psinomounis or of the shepherds of the same village, so that she may be able to bring in the harvest of her arouras, and that their sowing may not be lost to the detriment of the public treasury,
since she has no one to manage her affairs. For I have been urged much […] about this
by those who customarily pay their respects to us, whose request, before God, I could not refuse.
But do not neglect this, lest the crops be damaged and the public treasury be found limping.

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.
