To Ptolemaios son of Pyrrhos, of the First Friends and strategos, from Harchypsis and Arka[…] and their fellow priests of Herakles, greatest god, from Oxyrhyncha in the division of Polemon. Being troubled contrary to what is proper by those who farm the beer tax of the same village and by others […], for this reason, at the time when the king and the queen came into the nome, we submitted a petition about this matter and others, taking into account the privileges granted to the temples by them and their ancestors, which was also endorsed to Sarapion, the former strategos; and at that time we were left undisturbed until now, and the petition was no longer delivered to Sarapion. Now, however, Onnophris the beer-[…] has foisted on us 10 jars of beer improperly, supposing that he will be able to extort from us. We ask, since the sovereigns too have ordered that we not be troubled, if it seems good, that you order a letter to be written to Apollodoros the epistates not to permit anyone to trouble us. If this is done, we shall have received help. Farewell.

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.
