EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[…] of your administration […] […] […] such, determining (?) the people who have fled from them into each pagarchy, according to what we have appended for you in the present letter, sending to them a capable and trustworthy literate man, who is to be present with them before those in charge of the fugitives and to record for themselves the name and father's name of each, and from what village, and in what place and in what pagarchy he took refuge, both of those being sent back to their own homes and of those allowed to remain where they were staying for tax payment; in short, to learn every particular, instructing them to apply themselves vigorously to their task and not to take anything at all from anyone by way of sportula (fee). For you shall know that if any of those sent by you is convicted of having received a sportula from any person whatsoever, the danger falls on you, and you will receive punishment for this together with the convicted man. But send such men quickly to the aforesaid officials in charge of the fugitives, and let me not find that you hindered this or that you failed to send out in full the number which we have written to you, and so put yourself in danger. Written in the month Choiak 29, indiction 7. Men, 9: to Salama son of Iochamer, for Arcadia, 3 names to Zora son of Aloasel, for the Thebaid, 3 names to Abdella son of Szourae, for the Limes, 3 names

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.
