p.enteux.91 26. Febr. 221 v.Chr.Magdola (Arsinoites)

Seconde plainte: sujet indéterminé via HGV-meta

Petition to the king against Autoboulos concerning sheep. A petition to King Ptolemy complaining that Autoboulos, a 100-aroura cavalry settler of the third hipparchy, has wronged the petitioner in a dispute over sheep, apparently connected with his wife's family, and refused to return them. The petitioner asks that the strategos Diophanes have the epistates Pyrrhos send Autoboulos and the shepherd Semtheus for a hearing; the official endorsement orders reconciliation or referral to court. It dates to 221 BC, from Magdola in the Arsinoite nome. machine translation

For if this is done, I shall through you, O King, have obtained what I ask. Farewell. To Pyrrhos. Preferably reconcile them; if not, send them so that they may be judged before the appropriate court.

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.
