EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] To King Ptolemy, greetings from Patron. I am wronged by Nikostratos, who was deputy to Antisthenes […] the Lake (district) […] was in charge of the records. When I had contracted from Antisthenes for the villages of Stoto[…] and Phermouthis, and when […] of the royal […] had been imposed, to collect [the wool] from the shepherds together with […], they said they had none except for Syrian blankets (?) […], which I took and, having finished them, delivered to Nikostratos. Now I am being made to pay their price a second time. I therefore beg you, King, if it please you, that my petition be sent to the strategos who is in the Lake (district), so that, if I prove that Nikostratos received from me the Syrian blankets whose wool I took from the shepherds, Nikostratos be compelled to give me justice. For he hides behind the oikonomoi who come to the Lake (district), and so I cannot obtain justice from him. Farewell. (Docket) Year 27, submitted in Loios. Goodbye. Year 27, Gorpiaios 9. [verso] Petitions and copies of them

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.
