To Hermophilos […]
from Orsenouphis son of Dioskoros and Psosneus son of Psenmeinis and Pennamis son of Amenneus, (being among) the elders, with others, of the village of Peenno in the Middle toparchy. With regard to the report submitted to Claudius Herakleios, strategos, by us and our fellow elders against Diogenes, overseer of dykes, concerning his having taken from fifty-one men 4 drachmas each so that they should not perform the five-naubion work on the public dykes, and concerning his having likewise shielded nine other men so that they should not do their work: when you asked for the names of the aforesaid, we declared from among them the names of thirteen men, who also stated in writing to the strategos that they had given nothing either to Diogenes or to his people or to anyone else in order not to work on the dykes. And since you are asking for the names of the rest, we declare, swearing by the fortune of Imperator Titus Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, that we are unable to prove any of the things set out in the aforesaid report. If we swear truly, may it be well with us; if falsely, the opposite.
Year 3 of Imperator [Titus Caesar] Vespasianus [Augustus] […]

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.
