EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Apollonios, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, from Petsiris son of Phoulemis, of those from Talei. On the 5th of Tybi of the present 8th year of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, while I was working in the vineyard near Tali which I have leased from Ischyrion son of Ptolemaios, I caught in the act Patynion son of Herakleides and his son […] driving mules […] among the vegetables sown in between; and when I remonstrated with them, they subjected me to no ordinary outrage, and moreover, as a result, they gave me unsparingly a full measure of blows on whatever parts of my body they happened to hit, and they fell upon me, striking my side with their fists, so that I am now bedridden and in danger of my life. Therefore I ask you to write to the archephodos of Talei to send the accused to you for the coming prosecution. Farewell. Year 8 of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Tybi 9. Petsiris, about 45 years old, bald at the forehead, a scar at the outer end of the left eyebrow by the eyelid. [verso] Memorandum of Petsiris of Talei.

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.
