[recto] [… 15 lines lost …] [verso] [… lines lost …] […] […]ros son of Andronikos, calf-(?) […] of the current (year). To you, who are inquiring, on the basis of the petition submitted to you by Aurelius Diogenes, former kosmetes of the city of the Oxyrhynchites, through Marcus Aurelius Claudius Petronianus, on what pretext we remained here, although we were chosen together with others for the escorting of calves being conveyed to most illustrious Alexandria for the most auspicious annona of our lord Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Felix Pius Augustus, we declare, swearing by the fortune of our lord Imperator Severus Antoninus, that we travelled together with our partners under the officials in charge as far as the Herakleopolite nome, and that there, since ten calves were unable to follow because of weakness, we were left behind by them in order to return to our own nome, until the animals, having been fed and cared for, should be taken up together with the official placed in charge, in accordance with the letter of introduction which the officials chosen with him have made to him, which he deposited with the petition which he submitted to you. Year 24, Phamenoth.

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.
