[recto] In the consulship of Flavius Cethegus, vir clarissimus, Hathyr 2, 13th indiction. To Flavius Victor, the venerable nyktostrategos of the southern quarter of the city of the Hermopolites, from Aurelius Iosephios son of Phoibammon, farmer from the same city. If the vigilance of the laws did not stand in the way of those who attempt to do wrong, all would run headlong into madness and into other wrongdoings. Since, therefore, a certain Dionysios, a painter by trade, dared, against all the laws, to beat me with blows so that the wounds inflicted are visible over my whole body, and not only that, but also to send his own son to my home at sunset to rob […] of all the […] the seed for sowing of my arable land, therefore […] your […] [verso] Petition of Iosephios son of Phoibammon

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.
