Petition via APIS-papyrus
Petition of a woman against her uncle Maximus concerning an inheritance. Fragmentary petition from the 4th century AD in which a woman tells an official that her father left property, including a house in Alexandria with bread-dole rights and four plots of land in the city of the Phrabonitai, to her and her brother Gennadios. She complains that her uncle Maximus refuses to hand anything over and keeps her brother with him, and she asks for the official's help. 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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 33530 (see that record)
