EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
In the consulship of our master Julian, eternal Augustus, for the 4th time, and of Flavius Sallustius, most illustrious prefect of the sacred praetorium, […] To Gaius Julius Leukadios, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from the Aurelii Gennadios son of Julianus, former logistes, and Herakleides son of Herakleides, and Timagenes son of Serenos, and Ammonios son of Apion, and Sarapion son of Ploutarchos, all councillors of the city of the Oxyrhynchites, curators of the grain for Alexandria. We acknowledge, swearing the revered divine oath of our master Julian, eternal Augustus, that we have received from those registered below and loaded into the ship listed below, from the quota of the fortunate 7th new indiction, new wheat, clean, unmixed with barley, not wetted and free of all fault, by the public measure, by the prescribed measurement, in total […] artabas of wheat. We will carry the cargo down to most illustrious Alexandria and will deliver it into the public granaries there, full in amount, and upon its delivery we will bring back receipts, so that we may be blamed in nothing, or may we be liable to the divine oath. It is as follows: Into the ship of […], officialis, whose pilot is Germanus, being from the Oxyrhynchite nome, the aforementioned artabas of wheat […] whose guarantors are […], landowner, and Gennadios […], stationarius.

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.
