EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Frourios Proklos, centurion, from Pabous and Harpalos, both sons of Melas, priests of Soknopaiou Nesos. When our aforementioned father died, lord, leaving as heirs us and Stotoetis and Tanephronis, we both deposited the household goods he left behind. Paying no regard to anything, the aforementioned Stotoetis, during our absence, came to the place where the household goods were stored, together with the aforementioned Tanephronis, while the seals of all of us were jointly affixed, and having removed the affixed seals they went in and stole everything we had deposited. Then, when we arrived to divide the property, Stotoetis, trusting in his own strength, attacked us and dealt us no ordinary blows. Therefore we ask that they be brought before you to give account for what they have done to us in this way. Farewell. Year […] of the Aurelii Antoninus and Commodus, the lords Augusti, Thoth 23.

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.
