[recto] To Aurelius Ampelios, beneficiarius of the prefect of Egypt, from Aurelius Patermouthis, pork-butcher, of the glorious and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites. […] On the day before yesterday, after I had as usual secured our farmstead, which is in the Shepherds' quarter, adjoining a certain Thonios of the same city, where there are pigs, 6 in number, I went off home. And after one hour it was reported to me by the neighbour Thonios that a misdeed had taken place at the farmstead, and at once I went, [with others] of the same city, who came [together with] me and the same Thonios, to [the same] farmstead; and we found […] on the wall of the farmstead […] and known to the same Thonios […] the door, which had been sealed, opened […] of the 6 pigs, [one] sow […] the blood lay […] […] [verso] […]

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.
