p.mert.1.43r V (?)Oxyrhynchos (?)
Petitions to a Praeses via HGV-meta
Petition of the Oxyrhynchite councillors to the governor Flavius Aelius Eusebius. Fragmentary petition, probably from the town councillors of Oxyrhynchus, to the provincial governor Flavius Aelius Eusebius. It appears to complain about burdens or impositions threatening the city, mentions an envoy Leukadios, the flight of councillors, and payments to bakers and gold-collectors, and appeals to the governor's benevolence and the prefects' intentions. 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.
