Emancipation of a Slave via HGV-meta

Manumission of a third share of the slave Apollonous. A deed of manumission from Oxyrhynchus in Domitian's tenth year (AD 91), by which the brothers Achilleus and Sarapas, sons of Ammonios, free their one-third share of the slave woman Apollonous, whose other two thirds had already been freed. The ransom of 200 silver drachmas plus copper was paid by Heraklas son of Tryphon, who renounces any claim to recover it from her. 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.
