Year 16, Pharmouthi 16.
From the minutes of Subatianus Aquila in the Oxyrhynchite nome. After other matters:
Aelius Ammonios, prytanis, said: "This river of ours that lies alongside has, at the time of the rising, an inflow and abundance of water. We ask that the boats be sent then and that the riverside villages be loaded first by means of this river, and after that that the customary and established procedure 'by the peg' be followed, beginning from the start with the upper district, and that each granary be emptied and the grain be transported according to custom." Aquila said: "What is 'by the peg'?" He answered: "Each district begins from the south." Aquila said: "From the upper toparchy?" He answered: "Yes. For this has always been the custom and has been observed, so that [it] does not pass over from village to village […], but they are emptied together at the time of the rising, so that the riverside villages of this river Tomis are loaded first." Aquila said to Didymos the strategos: "Why [was this not] done?" He answered: "[…]" […] said: "[…] let him say […]" […] said to Ammonios […] him […] Aquila said […]

… and said to Didymos the strategos: "The remainder now, which has not yet been sent, where is it? In which places?" Didymos the strategos said: "In the lower (toparchy)." Aquila said to Ammonios: "If you had proved that some fault had been committed, I would have rebuked it. But there is hardly any question that this must be observed."

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.
