p.oxy.22.2344 Oxyrhynchos

Petition of a Bishop via HGV-meta

Petition of Bishop Dionysios to the strategos about the guardianship of orphans. A badly damaged petition from Dionysios, bishop of the catholic church of Oxyrhynchus, to Flavius Paianios, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome. It concerns the guardianship of orphaned children and their property, entrusted to a certain Makrobios, and the bishop submits documents to the official so that he will not be blamed for any loss or embezzlement. machine translation

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.
