EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Dios, strategos, from Apollonios also called Secundus, son of Epimachos, from the city of Oxyrhynchus. I ask that there be sent instructions for payment of the sums owed to me for the price of the purchased-by-requisition wheat of the crop of the past year 2 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus, which I measured out in accordance with the orders of Pompeius Planta, the most excellent prefect, through the sitologoi of Choisis and Athychis, 12 artabas at 16 drachmas, 192 drachmas; and I swear by Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Germanicus that I owe nothing on account of […] or of the purchased wheat up to the present day, or may I be liable to the oath. Year 3 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus, Choiak 5. I, Apollonios also called Secundus, son of Epimachos, have submitted this and sworn the oath.

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.
