p.oslo.3.84 138 - 161Oxyrhynchos

Letter of the Strategus of Alexandria concerning Two Stolen Camels via HGV-meta

Letter of the strategos of Alexandria forwarding a petition about two stolen camels. Fragmentary first sheet of an official file: a covering letter from an official, apparently the strategos of Alexandria, forwarding a copy of a petition, followed by the petition itself. The petitioner, son of Sarapion, asks that the strategos of the Mareotic nome be instructed to bring men accused of driving off two camels, named Harendotes and Isidoros, to a hearing on cattle-rustling. It dates to the reign of Antoninus Pius (AD 138-161). 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.
