[1] […] having taken place […] to the account of the god, it being in accordance with [the law that] his property, whatever was ancestral and privately owned, should be separated [and] taken up into the sacred account; but that what had [come down to him] in the name of Philoumene should be untouched, having long before been held by us as security for what he owes, before […] his property into the department of the high priest. But this did not happen so; rather these too, along with the rest, […] and from then until now they are under the administration of the high priest, and […] are improperly taken up into the account of the god. Having therefore attended to and undertaken the examination of the matter, the civic revenues […] since there is a shortage of funds, we recognized that […] being full, as it will seem to you too, of the most complete reasonableness […] into the most sacred treasury of the lord, in such ministers (?) […] the privilege, and those who take precedence in the contracts which […] their own and holding, knowing […] to Lysanias two and to Philosarapis […] […] […] most […] transferring (?) […] account, very many […] into […] […] a cession having taken place in the 29th year of the deified Commodus […] in the 8th year of the deified Severus and Marcus Antoninus […] to the god, which things we set out not in word but in deed, adducing documents, on which grounds we beg and request, in accordance with what is most just, […] that his other property be held by the [department] of the high priesthood […] but that what came to him in the name of Cleopatra also called Philoumene […] by inheritance […] he inherited […] a third part of this […] and of right […] account, so that the most holy [treasury] may also have […] from the god and from you, the administrator, […] and owed, and if now […] […] [2] Au[…] to the magistrates and council of the Oxyrhynchites, greetings. Concerning the property of Cleopatra also called Philoumene, which you requested in what you wrote to me, you can inform me when I am sitting in judgment, in the presence of the advocate of the account of the god, […] before the judgment, from the […] […] […] administrator […]

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.
