I myself, therefore, being in very many wrongs and having been plundered by […] and […] of my sister, petitioned Valens, the former epistrategos, in very many petitions, asking to be heard; and Valens, learning that my request pertained to the epistrategia, undertook it, setting out the hearing through all the subscriptions. But since that man could not be found, and indeed was evading (me), the matter has been dragged out […] Since therefore in the meantime […] and him […] […] […] by the violence of my opponent […] according to the […] capital (charge?) […] of us hanging (?) […] just (?) […] needing […] jurisdiction […] helpless […]

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.
