After the consulship of Julius Constantius, patricius, brother of our master Constantine Augustus, and Rufius Albinus, to the consuls to be designated, Phamenoth.
[…] to the strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Aurelia Theodora, daughter of Eudaimon, former veteran, from the same city.
Having had recourse to the excellence of my lord Philagrios, most illustrious prefect of Egypt, the copy of the petition which I submitted and of the rescript which I obtained from him, ordering that his commands be carried into effect, is as follows.
[Flavius Philagrios to the strategos] of the Oxyrhynchite nome. Aurelia Theodora, having submitted a petition of which a copy is appended below, […] herself […]. See to it […] if they agree, that they give these things back to her, or if they dispute it […] to you, or also that it be given. Farewell.
Copy of petition:
[To Flavius Philagrios, most illustrious] prefect of Egypt, from Aurelia Theodora, daughter of Eudaimon also called […]idios, former [veteran, from the illustrious and most illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites. My father], while alive, bought from Pasipentoös son of Melas, from the same city, near the village of Sento [of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from the] holding of Apollophanes, at the 109 beds(?), from the name of Se[…]onios son of Pasis and Inaroüs, […] 1 1/4 arouras of [land], arouras 1 1/4, paying him in full the agreed price […] in accordance with the sale that took place, which was also drawn up in my name. I do not know how […] Demetrianos […] of Demetrianos, the brother of the man who sold it to my father, hoping [to alienate this land], despising our orphaned state. Therefore I beg your protection, most illustrious prefect, [and ask you to order through] […], if you so decide, that the same Demetrianos be compelled […] to [give back the land], so that I may recover it and […].
[…] I, Aurelia Theodora, have submitted this.

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.
