[recto] After the consulship of our masters Theodosius for the 13th time and Valentinian for the 3rd time, the eternal Augusti, Thoth 3. To Flavius Joseph, councillor and riparius of the Oxyrhynchite (city), from Aurelius Abraamios son of Posis, from the same city. The field-guards of the village of Paneuei […] contrary to their responsibility, maltreating (?) […] three days ago, at night […] having pulled out the nails of the iron fittings […] the cross-beams (?) and the outflow channels, they went off. Therefore, so that those responsible may be brought, satisfaction be given to us, and the evildoers be presented to the laws for their defence, I necessarily submit this petition to your diligence, asking that those responsible be brought up and held securely until the judgment […] takes place. I, Aurelius Abraam, have submitted it. [verso] Petition of Aurelius Abraamios son of Posis, from the Oxyrhynchite (city), against the field-guards of the village of Paneuei […] Thoth 3.

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.
