Imperial Ordinances (?) via HGV-meta

Fragments of ordinances against abuses by tax collectors. Fragments of what appear to be imperial or high official ordinances, recovered from papyrus used in the cartonnage of the Nag Hammadi codices. The surviving phrases denounce shameless informers and tax collectors who plunder the provincials, refer to storehouses, registers and fixed quantities of demands, and order such abuses to stop. machine translation

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.
