EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] ☧ In the consulship of our master Flavius Justinian, the eternal Augustus, for the 2nd time, Phaophi 27, indiction 7, at Oxyrhynchus. To the holy catholic church of God under our most holy and most God-beloved father, Abba Petros, bishop of this splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, through you, the most pious Phib, priest and catholic steward, Aurelius Pseeis son of Phoibammon, mother Thekla, from the hamlet of Kolotos, an estate of the same catholic church, of the Oxyrhynchite nome, registered farmer, greetings. Since need has now arisen for one axle for the church water-wheel in my charge, called 'at the Agroikika', which irrigates a vineyard and arable land, I came up to the city and asked your God-belovedness to order that the said axle be supplied to me, and at once your God-belovedness, taking thought for the maintenance of the church's affairs, supplied it to me through the most pious Loukas, monk, new, serviceable for irrigation and satisfactory. I received it to complete all the machine's apparatus on this present day, which is Phaophi 27 of the current year 205/174, of the present seventh indiction, for the water supply of the crops of the eighth indiction. And as proof of the receipt I have made this written acknowledgment, which is valid, written in a single copy, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. ☧ I, Aurelius Pseeis son of Phoibammon, the aforesaid, have made the written acknowledgment, having received the new axle, and everything written in it is satisfactory to me as stated above. I, Aurelius Philoxenos son of the late […], wrote on his behalf since he is illiterate. ☧ Executed through me, Philoxenos, Phaophi […]. [verso] † Written acknowledgment of Pseeis son of Phoibammon from the hamlet of Kolotos, for receipt of one axle.

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.
