Fragment d’une lettre administrative via HGV-meta

Letter from Ioannes to Apollos the protokometes about soldiers' green fodder. Fragment of an administrative letter from Ioannes, perhaps the pagarch of Antaiopolis, to Apollos, chief village official (protokometes) of Aphrodito, complaining that his earlier letters about the soldiers' green-fodder allowance and the village's share have gone unanswered and urging him to send someone or a full reply. It dates to the 6th century AD and belongs to the archive of Dioscoros. machine translation

[recto] I have already written to your brotherliness by other letters, asking you to write to me […] of the soldiers on account of the green fodder (chlorophagia); and I instructed (?) […] to send in the amount owed […] concerning your share; and until now he has neither sent nor written to me […]. May you therefore deign, even now, to send whomever you wish, so that the soldiers do not fall into negligence (?) […], and last year's events happen again. For it is not acceptable. And the Lord God knows how […] I am greatly vexed by them on this account, since all the […] are staying down here, awaiting either your presence or […] for the sake of the Lord God, either send me a complete answer, or assign […] [verso] […] to Apollos, protokometes, from Ioannes

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.
