p.lond.4.1561 VIIIAphrodites Kome (Antaiopolites)

Declarations of village officials on tax assessment and fugitives. Fragmentary Coptic declarations by village representatives, apparently of the hamlet of Nisikaite, concerning the assessment of taxes and the handing over of fugitives. They swear they assessed no one beyond his means out of enmity or spared anyone out of friendship, and left no one out down to a ten-year-old child, accepting any penalty the official imposes. It dates from the 8th century AD at Aphrodito. 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.
