EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Aurelius Didymos, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division, from Aurelius Ammonios son of Heron, his mother being Thaisas, from the village of Bakchias. A few days ago, when my son Satyros went out around sunset to fill water for drinking, since there is no Nile water in the aforesaid village but it is filled from springs far away, some people from the same village, whom I do not know, who were talking among themselves, one of them threw a stone, and my son, though standing far off, was wounded on the head. Therefore I submit this petition and ask that it be entered in the register as evidence, so that my right of action may be preserved against those who shall appear to be responsible. Farewell. Year 4 of Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Pius Felix Augustus, Thoth 9.

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.
