Application to an Agent of Strategius via HGV-meta
Request for help against officials enforcing a fine of six solidi. A request, probably addressed to an agent of the count Strategios at Oxyrhynchus in the early 6th century AD. The writer asks the recipient, who had already promised help, to arrange with Strategios for letters ordering the singularii (official enforcement agents) to stop pressing him over a fine of six gold solidi. machine translation

παρά
καὶ παροῦσα ἡ σὴ θαυμασιότης παρεκλήθη παρʼ ἐμοῦ χάριν τῶν ἓξ χρυσίνων τῆς καταδίκης
καὶ ἐπηγγείλου τὰ δυνατὰ ποιῆσαι ὥστε κατορθῶσαί μοι ταῦτα, νῦν πάλιν προσφέρω τὰς αὐτὰς
παρακλήσεις ἵνα καταξιώσῃς ἅμα τῷ δεσπότῃ μου τῷ μεγαλοπρεπεστάτῳ κόμετι Στρατηγίω
ποιῆσαι γράμματα καταλαβεῖν τοὺς σιγγουλαρίους τοὺς καὶ ἐκβιβάζοντας τοῦτο τὸ πρᾶγμα
ὥστε ἀποστῆναι τῆς κατʼ ἐμοῦ ὀχλήσεως.

From […]
When you were present, your admirableness was entreated by me concerning the six gold solidi of the fine, and you promised to do what was possible to set this right for me. Now again I bring forward the same entreaties, that you may deign, together with my master the most magnificent count Strategios, to write letters so that the singularii who are also carrying out this matter may desist from their harassment of me.

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.
