p.lond.4.1560 VIIIAphrodites Kome (Antaiopolites)

Declaration on fair apportionment of a levy, with list of payments. A Coptic declaration from 8th-century Aphrodito in which two local men, Shenoute and Stephanos, swear to an official that they apportioned a levy (described as a gift, xenion) fairly among the villagers according to their means, accepting penalties if they favoured or burdened anyone. The sheet carries a draft or second copy of the declaration and a list of contributors with amounts in fractions of a solidus. machine translation

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.
