Petition of boatmen about the imprisonment of Pauseiris. Fragment of a petition from boatmen, probably to an official of the Arsinoite nome, in the 2nd century AD. They complain that the elders and pilots they brought to the metropolis slipped away, and that Melas, the official in charge of the extra freight charge, has detained and locked up one of them, Pauseiris; they ask for protection while they serve in the nome. machine translation

[...] the elders and the pilots before you, and we brought these too to the metropolis; but today, because of their guilty conscience, they went away without reason. Since, then, Melas, who is appointed over the paranaulon (extra freight charge), has detained one of us, Pauseiris, and has locked him up, we therefore take refuge with you, asking, if it seems good to you, to protect us while we serve in the Arsinoite nome, where we remain in our boats [...]

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.
