EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Ammonius Paternus, centurion, from Melas son of Horion, from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos, priest of the god who is in the village. There belongs to me and to my cousins Phanesis and Harpagathes, jointly and in equal shares, inherited from our maternal grandfather, in the same village, an open walled plot where we store each year the hay we have. Now since one of them, Harpagathes, has recently died and his share has passed to both of us in equal parts, yesterday, which was the 22nd, while I was storing our hay in the plot, Phanesis came upon me violently and arrogantly and appropriated my hay, not allowing me to store it in our share, attempting thereby to drive me out and to claim for himself alone what belongs to me; and not only this, but he also subjected me to the utmost insult. Therefore I ask you to order that he be summoned, so that I may obtain fairness from you. Farewell. Year 1 of Publius Helvius Pertinax Augustus, Pharmouthi 23.

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.
