p.oxy.12.1428 Mitte IVOxyrhynchites (?)
Letter of a Praeses (?) to an Exactor via HGV-meta
Order to the exactor of the Oxyrhynchite nome on the weaving of linen clothing. Copy of an official letter from a high official named Nikon, perhaps the provincial governor, to the exactor (chief tax officer) of the Oxyrhynchite nome. Since the overseer of linen production, Ptolemaios, has gone to Alexandria, the exactor is to give help to a centurion and an official so that the weavers are forced to produce the clothing (a state levy) with faultless fabrics in the meantime. machine translation

Copy.
[…]s Nikon to the exactor of the Oxyrhynchite nome, greetings.
It has come to my knowledge that Ptolemaios, the overseer (epiktes) of the linen, has gone to Alexandria. Therefore, so that no delay may follow in the weaving of this same linen, see to it that the assistance assigned to the department is provided to Sarapion the centurion and Antonius the official, so that those responsible are compelled to make the clothing with unimpeachable fabrics, until the aforementioned Ptolemaios returns. For this reason I have sent the aforementioned official. I pray for your health.

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.
