EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Vegetus also called Sarapion, strategos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, from Stotoetis son of Horion and Panoupis son of Tesenouphis, from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos. A certain Horion came down to our village and urged us to go up to the metropolis and buy from his father Stotoetis, called Mikros ("the Small"), mika(?) wheat. Having received from us 300 silver drachmas toward the price of the wheat, to give to his father, he disappeared. When we approached his father about the wheat, he too denied both having received the money and knowing where his son is. Therefore we ask that this memorandum remain on record with you until Horion appears, and that his father be brought to produce him, so that we may have received help from you. Stotoetis, aged 28, scar on the left cheek; Panoupis, aged 25, without distinguishing marks. Year 22 of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian, Phaophi 24.

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.
