ὑπόμνημα παρὰ Νικίου
Ζήνωνι. ἀπεστείλαμεν εἰς
Βοῦτον τοῦ Μεμφίτου πῶλον
θηλυκὸν ἐπὶ χόρτον ἑβδόμηι.
ἀποπηδᾶι τῆι ὀγδόηι ἐπιζητῶν τὴν μητέρα. ἀπῆλθε δὲ
τὴν ὁδὸν ἧι εἰώθει πορεύεσθαι.
λαβόντες οἱ φυλακῖται οἱ ἀπὸ
Σιμυρὰ ἀπέκλεισαν αὐτόν. ἐδίωξεν φυλακίτης ἐκ Βούτου
καὶ σύγγαμβρός τίς μου κατὰ
τὸ ἴχνος. ἐλθόντες οὖν ἐπελάβοντο τοῦ ὑποζυγίου. παραγενομένου Νουμηνίου τοῦ φυλακίτου, προσαπήγαγεν αὐτούς.
δέομαι οὖν σου, εἴ σοι δοκεῖ, γράψαι αὐτῶι περὶ τούτων.
εὐτύχει.Translations (1)
Memorandum from Nikias to Zenon. We sent a mare to pasture in Boutos of the Memphite nome on the seventh. On the eighth, she ran off, seeking her mother. She left the path on which she was accustomed to travel. The phylakitai from Simyra, seizing her, shut her up. A phylakitês from Boutos and a brother-in-law of mine followed her tracks. Finding her, they took possession of her; but when the phylakitês Noumenios arrived, he arrested them. Therefore, I ask that you, if it seems best, write to him about these matters. Farewell. (J. Bauschatz, Law and Enforcement, p. 56)

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.
