EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] To Maevius Honoratianus, prefect of Egypt, from Aurelius […], son of Chairemon, from the village of Karanis of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. The divine and imperial constitutions expressly order that no one shall perform another liturgy in the following year, but that he shall be passed over and left to rest. Since, therefore, most illustrious prefect, the present officials of the village of Karanis, disregarding what is customary […] for the safety of the province and of us farmers […], have nominated me, who was sitopologos (grain collector) for the produce of the past 2nd year, for the guarding of the wheat in the granary of the village of Karanis, and now, against all the laws, I have been assigned to the aforesaid liturgy of sitologos for the produce of the current 3rd year, I have fled to your feet, begging your most illustrious fortune, if it seems good, to hear me against them, so that I may obtain your help, my lord, in order that, being thus released from this unlawful nomination, I may be able to fulfil blamelessly the burden of the liturgy previously entrusted to me and, remaining in my own place, may forever give thanks to your fortune. Farewell. […] […] Epeiph 8 […] submitted (?) to you […] take care. Sheet 22 of roll 1. [verso]

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.
