To Theon, strategos, from Apia daughter of Horion son of Apis, her mother being Tareus, from the city of Oxyrhynchus, with her guardian, her husband Pasion son of Pauseiris, his mother being Tseei daughter of Kallias, from the same city. My father, the aforementioned Horion son of Apis son of Horos, his mother being Taersis, registered at the village of Bereneikis in the Arsinoite nome, ⟦on some business⟧ being temporarily present at the village of Nemera in the Oxyrhynchite nome, where I reside with my husband, and having at his disposal for dwelling ⟦for my use⟧ three rooms of the house belonging to me in the same Nemera, in the northern parts of it, namely the existing exedra and two upper rooms, a dining room and a bedroom, has fallen ill and is in a dangerous condition. Since I do not intend to enter upon his inheritance, I am of necessity informing you of this, so that you may order the proper steps to be taken, in order that after his death I may not be held liable. Year 19 of the Emperors Caesars Marcus Aurelius Antoninus and Lucius Aurelius Commodus Augusti, Armeniaci, Medici, Parthici, Germanici, Sarmatici Maximi, Pauni 9. I, Apia daughter of Horion, have submitted this. I, Pasion son of Pausiris, have signed as guardian of my wife and wrote on her behalf, since she does not know letters. […]

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.
