p.oxy.43.3088 21. März 128 (?)Oxyrhynchos
Letter of a Prefect, etc. via HGV-meta
Copies of prefectal letters to Oxyrhynchus permitting construction of a bath. Copies of letters from the Roman prefect of Egypt, Flavius Titianus, to the city of Oxyrhynchus, from the reign of Hadrian (year 12, AD 128). In the better preserved letter the prefect praises the citizens' wish to beautify their city and permits them to build a bath from funds already collected and further contributions; the end of an earlier letter threatens punishment for anyone obstructing some work. 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.
