Ἀλεξάνδρωι στρατηγῷ

ἡ δὲ ἀλλότρια φρονήσασα τῆς κοινῆς συμβιώσεως κατὰ πέρας ἐξῆλθε καὶ ἀπηνέγκαντο

To Alexandros, strategos,
from Tryphon son of Dionysios, of those from the city of Oxyrhynchus. I lived together with Demetrous daughter of Herakleides, and I for my part provided for her what was fitting, even beyond my means. But she, conceiving thoughts alien to our common married life, finally left and carried off our belongings, of which a detailed list is appended below. Therefore I ask that she be brought before you, so that she may receive what is fitting and give back to me our belongings. As for the other claims I have against her, I maintain them and will maintain them. Farewell.
The things stolen are:
[…] grey (?) [garment], worth 40 drachmas
[…]

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.
