To Aurelius […], strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division, from Aurelius Pasei, Arab archer, from the village of Philadelphia in the Herakleides division. On the 13th of the present month Pachon eight sheep of mine were driven off by persons unknown to me. Therefore, out of necessity, I submit this petition, making these very facts known, so that it may be placed on record, in order that I may retain my right of action against those who shall appear to be responsible, wherever (?) […] if found. Farewell. I have submitted copies of this also to the most worthy centurion and decurion and […] Year 2 of Imperator Caesar Gaius Iulius Verus Maximinus Pius Felix Augustus and Gaius Iulius Verus Maximus, the most sacred Caesar Augustus, son of the Augustus, Pachon 14.

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.
