To Aurelius Hermeias son of Heliodoros, former magistrate, councillor, strategos in office of Hermopolis the most splendid, from Aurelius Dios son of Apollon, of the same city. Already from the month of Mesore my wife Hermione, watching for the opportunity of my absence while I was staying in the village, carried off everything inside our house, in which there were also necessary documents, and made an unlawful departure; and often I sent […] Then she appeared when […] she was shameless (?) […] she has not given back our property, above all the deeds of sale of my house plots. For this reason, being unable to keep quiet, I submit to your intelligence this petition, asking that she be brought from wherever she may be and be kept in custody until the fortunate visit of my lord the most perfect governor Cerealius Telephius Hierocles, since I intend to make my plea about this matter before him. Farewell. In the aforesaid consulship, Pharmouthi 25. I, Aurelius Dios son of Apollon, have submitted it. I, Aurelius Olkoueis (?) son of Pathermouthios, wrote on his behalf, as he does not know letters.

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.
