Eingabe eines Phylakiten an den Epimeleten via HGV-meta

Petition of a guard against a scribe charging rent on an extra aroura. Petition from Dositheos, a guard holding a 10-aroura allotment and one of the settlers from Samaria, to the epimeletes Zopyros. He complains that Diophantos, scribe of the cultivators, is wrongly charging him rent on an extra aroura, although the survey of year 24 found no excess in his allotment, and asks that the topogrammateus Petos be instructed to confirm this and stop the harassment. machine translation

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[…] […] […] Diophantos […] To Zopyros, epimeletes, […] from Dositheos son of […], guard, holder of 10 arouras, of those from Samaria. My allotment lies near the same village, and in the survey carried out in year 24 it was measured by Petos the topogrammateus and Apynchis the komogrammateus and the others customarily present, and no excess at all was found, but on the contrary a shortfall. Now Diophantos, the scribe of the cultivators, having made an assault on me, is extorting from me (?) against what is proper and is entering me as holding 1 aroura in addition to my allotment, although the komogrammateus has made no such report at all and none has been reported through the accounting office. Being harassed unreasonably over the rents, and in need of your hatred of wrongdoing, I ask you, if it seems right, to write to Petos the topogrammateus that, if I am shown by the inspection previously made by him to have no excess, provision be made so that I shall be free from harassment over the rents of the 1 aroura unreasonably charged to me by Diophantos. If this is done, I shall obtain fair treatment. 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.
