Φλαουίῳ Σαραποδώρῳ λογιστῇ Ὀξυρυγχίτου
παρὰ Αὐρηλίων Κυρίλλας καὶ Μάρθας ἀμφοτέρων ἐκ πατρὸς Κάστορος ἀπὸ τῆς ἀυτῆς
πόλεως. Γέμελλος υἱός ἐστιν Ῥόδωνος ὄντος θείου ἡμῶν πρὸς πατρὸς,
ὃς μέλλων τελευτᾶν τὰ καταλειφθέντα ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ πράγματα εἰσ…σεν ὑπὸ τὴν
ἐξουσίαν Ἀμμωνίου τινός, ἀποτακτικοῦ, κατὰ μητέρα θείου αὐτοῦ τυγχάνοντος,
παρακελευόμενος μὴ διʼ ὄχλου ἡμᾶς αὐτῷ γίγνεσθαι. συμβέβηκεν δὲ τὸν αὐτὸν
Ἀμμώνιον ἀποτακτικὸν ὄντα οὐ μετʼ οὐ πολὺ ἐκ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀπελθεῖν.
τὰ δὲ τοῦ προειρημένου Γεμέλλου πράγματα ἡμῖν ἀνῆκεν ταῖς ἐκ τοῦ πατρικοῦ γένους
τυγχανούσαις. ἐπεὶ οὖν οὔτε βουλημάτιον ὁ Ἀμμώνιος συνεστήσατο
οὔτε ἀπέδειξεν κληρονόμους, ἀποτακτικὸς δὲ ὢν ἐτελεύτα τὸν βίον,
ἀλλʼ Ἄμμων τις ταῦτα τὰ μὴ ἀνήκοντα αὐτῷ πράγματα μὴ ὢν κληρονόμος
κατέχει πρὸς βίαν, διὰ τοῦτο ἀξιοῦμεν τὴν σὴν ἐμμέλειαν ὥστε κελεῦσαι τὸν
αὐτὸν Αμμωνα παραστῆναι καὶ καταναγκασθῆναι, μὴ ὄντα υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀμμωνίου
μηδὲ κληρονόμον ἀποδοῦναι ἡμῖν τὰ τοῦ Γεμέλλου πράγματα ταῖς οὔσαις
ἐκ τοῦ πατρικοῦ αὐτοῦ γένους ἵνα δυνηθῶμεν ἐκ τῆς σῆς βοηθείας μηδεμίαν
περιγραφὴν ὑπομένειν.
Αὐρήλιαι Κυρίλλα καὶ Μάρθα ἐπιδεδώκαμεν. Αὐρήλιος Θεόδωρος Θωνίου
ἔγραψα ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν γράμματα μὴ εἰδυιῶν.Translations (1)
To Flavius Sarapodoros, logistes of the Oxyrhynchite nome,
from the Aurelii Kyrilla and Martha, both with father Kastor, from the same city. Gemellus is the son of Rhodon, who was our paternal uncle; when he (Gemellus) was about to die, he placed (?) the property he left under the authority of a certain Ammonios, an apotaktikos, who was his maternal uncle, urging that we should not trouble him. It happened, however, that this same Ammonios, being an apotaktikos, departed from mankind not long after. The property of the aforesaid Gemellus has devolved upon us, who are of his paternal family. Since, then, Ammonios neither made a will nor appointed heirs, but ended his life as an apotaktikos, and a certain Ammon, who is not an heir, holds by force this property which does not belong to him, we therefore ask your grace to order the same Ammon to appear and to be compelled, since he is neither son of Ammonios nor heir, to give back to us, who are of his paternal family, the property of Gemellus, so that with your help we may suffer no fraud.
We, the Aureliae Kyrilla and Martha, have submitted this. I, Aurelius Theodoros son of Thonios, wrote on their behalf, as they do not know letters.

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.
