Fragment of an Enteuxis of Zenon via HGV-meta
Petition of Zenon to the king against a man of Akanthopolis over barley. Fragment of a petition (enteuxis) addressed to King Ptolemy by Zenon, a Kaunian temporary resident, against a man from Akanthopolis. The dispute concerns a contract involving the price of 300 artabas of barley, and the case seems to be referred for judgment; it probably comes from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome around 250 BC. machine translation

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.
