Μινικίωι Κορελλιανῶι τῶι κρατίστωι ἐπιστρατηγῶι παρὰ Τετῆτος Τρύφωνος τῶν ἀπὸ Ἑρμοῦ πόλεως τῆς μεγάλης. Διόσκορος Ἑρμαίου ἀνὴρ τῆς θυγατρός μου Τιεῦτος ἑκάστοτέ σοι κατʼ ἐπιδημίαν παρενοχλῶν καὶ κατεντυγχάνων μου ἀνεπέμφθη ὑπὸ σοῦ πρός μοι ἐπὶ Διόσκορον Μουσαίου κριτὴν τῷ θ ἔτει Ἀντωνείνου Καίσαρος τοῦ κυρίου, ὃς διαλαβὼν περὶ τῶν ἀμφισβητουμένων ἡμῖν ἀπεφήνατο φυλάσσων ὅσα ἐθέμεθα ἀλλήλοις γράμματα. ἐπεὶ δὲ μετὰ τὴν κρίσιν τῇ αὐτῇ αὐθαδείᾳ χρώμενος ὁ Διόσκορος, καταφρονῶν μου τῆς χηρείας, τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου ἀλόγως διεμίσθωσε γεωργοῖς καὶ τῶν μὲν ἐκ μέρους ἐκφόρια ἔλαβεν τοῦ θ ἔτους, τῶν δὲ παρακατέσχον διὰ στρατηγοῦ παρὰ γεωργοῖς ἄχρι κρίσεως, παραγγελείς τε ὁ Διόσκορος διὰ στρατηγικοῦ μαχαιροφόρου ἥκειν ἐπὶ τὴν αὐτοῦ διάγνωσιν ἀπελείφθη, ἀξιῶ σε τὸν εὐεργέτην, ἐάν σοι δόξῃ, ποιῆσαι τὰ δέοντα πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ πέρας ἐπιθεῖναι τοῖς κακουργήμασι πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἔτι ὕστερόν με ἐπηρεάζεσθαι, ἵνʼ ὦ εὐεργετημένη. διευτύχει.

To Minicius Corellianus, the most excellent epistrategos, from Tetes daughter of Tryphon, of those from Hermopolis the Great. Dioskoros son of Hermaios, husband of my daughter Tieus, who constantly troubled you during your visit and brought complaints against me, was sent back by you together with me before Dioskoros son of Mousaios as judge in the 9th year of Antoninus Caesar the lord, who, having examined the matters disputed between us, gave his decision, upholding the documents we had drawn up with each other. But since after the judgment Dioskoros, behaving with the same insolence and despising my widowhood, without reason leased out my property to farmers, and from part of it took the rents of the 9th year, while the rest I had withheld through the strategos from the farmers until judgment; and Dioskoros, summoned through a sword-bearer of the strategos to come before his inquiry, failed to appear; I ask you, benefactor, if it seems good to you, to do what is necessary against him and put an end to his misdeeds, so that I may no longer be abused hereafter, and that I may have received benefaction. Farewell.

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.
