EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] To Julius Julianus, the most excellent epistrategos, from Senphibis daughter of Thortaios, with her guardian, her son Psais, elder, son of Lemos, from the village of Ibion Nemna in the Lower Apollonopolite district. I bought, lord, a long time ago from Apollonios and Didymos, both sons of Origenes, from Lykopolis, 5 1/4 arouras of grain land in the holding called Diagraphe in the fields of the village of Krekis in the Antaiopolite nome. But a certain Artemidoros, secretary of the village scribe of Krekis, I do not know how, has registered me for more than my property by one whole aroura, and in addition year by year, and from this he causes me no small loss. Since therefore the man's compulsion is pressing upon me and I am in danger of abandoning my own home, I take refuge with you, the lord and helper of all, and ask, if it seems good to you, to order the strategos of the nome to see to it that the proper registration is made of the arouras I hold according to the title deeds I possess, and that I not be wrongly registered by the village scribe; for indeed last year too, in addition to these, he wrongly registered other things against me; so that I may be helped. […] I, Senphibis daughter of Thortaios, with my guardian Psais, elder, son of Lamos, have submitted this. [verso] Into the hands (?) of the Antaiopolite (strategos). She complains about the secretary of the village scribe concerning a wrongful registration; she asks that the proper registration be made. Nothing being withheld (?).

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.
