[recto] To Apion, strategos, from Sambous daughter of Amois, with her guardian Saras son of Pesouris, from the city of Oxyrhynchus. Concerning my claims against Apion son of Demetrios and Dionysios son of Dionysios, his mother being Demetria, from the same city, regarding the property of my cousin Demetrios also called Diogenes, which they are holding by force, worth 10 talents, of which a share falls to me by right of the deposited public will of my grandfather Demetrios son of Dionysios; and further against the other of them, Apion, concerning the 1 talent of silver which he owes to my late mother Arsinoe under the will of the same grandfather of mine; all these matters requiring the judgment of the most excellent prefect Vibius Maximus, I ask you to order one of your attendants (?) to deliver a copy of this to each of them, so that, having a written summons, they may appear wherever the nome holds its assize or court, and wait at the tribunal of the same prefect until my claims against them are settled. For I hold fast to the rights that belong to me. Year 8 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus, Sebaste 4. [verso] Summons (diastolikon) of Sambous

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.
