τῶν ἐπισινῶν ἢ ἄλλαις αἰτίαις ἀπολυθῆναι βουλομένων οἱ κωμογραμματεῖς ἔνορκοι τὰ ὀνόματα διδότωσαν τοῦ στρατηγοῦ παρακολουθοῦντος. οἱ δὲ πλαστοῖς ὑποδυόμενοι ὀνόμασιν οὐ χρηματικὴν πείσονται ζημίαν, τὸν τοῦ θεῶν ἐμφανεστάτου Αὐτοκράτορος Καίσαρος Νέρουα Τραιανοῦ Σεβαστοῦ Γερμανικοῦ Δακικοῦ πλανῶντες ἔλεον. οὐδεμίαν οἱ τοῖς βιβλίοις ἐμφερόμενοι παραίτησιν ἕξουσιν ὑπερτίθεσθαι βουλόμενοι, πάλαι τοῦ διαλογισμοῦ τὴν προθεσμίαν εἰδότες. τὰς δωροδοκίας ἐπὶ πᾶσι κωλύω γείνεσθαι, μὴ νῦν πρῶτον ἀπαγορεύων τὸ κακούργημα τοῦτο. οἱ φίλους ἡγεμονικοὺς λαβόντες πρότερον κριτὰς καὶ μὴ ἀπαρτισθέντες ἐντυνχανετωσαν Ἰουλίῳ Μαξίμῳ τῷ ἀρχιστάτορι φίλωι, οἱ δʼ ἄλλοι πρὸς τοὺς τῶν προτεθέντων τοῦ διαλογισμοῦ ἐξήκοντος μὴ φθάσῃ ἀκουσθῆναι δυνήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ κατὰ νομὸν στρατηγοῦ κριθῆναι. ἐὰν δὲ οἱ κριταὶ αἴτιοι γένωνται τῆς παρολκῆς, καθέξω αὐτοὺς μέχρι ἂν ἀπαρτίσωσι τὰς διαγνώσεις. προτεθήτω. ἔτους ιδ Φαρμοῦθι α.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Of those who are infirm or who wish to be released for other reasons, let the village scribes give the names under oath, with the strategos supervising. Those who take refuge under false names will suffer no mere monetary penalty, since they are deceiving the clemency of the most manifest of gods, Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus. Those entered in the registers will have no excuse if they wish to obtain a postponement, having long known the appointed date of the assize (conventus). I forbid bribery in all matters, and this is not the first time I prohibit this crime. Those who previously obtained friends of the prefect as judges and whose cases were not completed shall apply to Julius Maximus, chief of the staff (archistator), my friend; the others [shall apply] to those of the [...] posted [...] when the assize has ended, whoever has not managed to be heard will be able to be judged before the strategos of the nome. If the judges are to blame for the delay, I shall detain them until they complete the hearings. Let it be posted. Year 14, Pharmouthi 1.

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.
