Petition to an Archidicastes via HGV-meta
Petition to the archidikastes about a discharged surety for gold coins. Petition from Theon son of Dionysios of Oxyrhynchus to the archidikastes Antoninus. Theon had stood surety for 20 gold pieces held by his niece Demetria; after a court ruling and a mutual settlement between Demetria and her brother Phanias, Phanias nevertheless registered Theon's surety note publicly, so Theon asks that the strategos inform Phanias he has no further claim. machine translation

To Antoninus, priest and archidikastes and in charge of the chrematistai and the other courts,
from Theon son of Dionysios, of those from the city of Oxyrhynchus in the Oxyrhynchite nome. In former times I issued to Phanias, son of my brother Sarapion, a handwritten note of surety for the 20 gold mnaieia which his sister Demetria held. After this a dispute arose between Phanias and Demetria, in my presence, before […]oupius Carus, the former iuridicus, Phanias claiming from Demetria the aforesaid 20 gold mnaieia, and Demetria likewise claiming from Phanias 3,600 silver drachmas […] she was keeping them with herself until the recovery of the loan; and Carus declared, in accordance with the minutes of proceedings drawn up by him, that the said gold pieces were to be kept by Demetria until the recovery of the loan of 3,600 silver drachmas. Although I was released from the surety by the minutes of Carus, Phanias, led on in some way or other, has dared to make public the handwritten note of surety for the gold which he held from me. And having learned that Phanias and Demetria issued to each other in the month of Pauni of the past year handwritten notes in which they acknowledged that they had received, Phanias from Demetria the 20 gold mnaieia, and Demetria from Phanias the 3,600 silver drachmas, out of necessity I take refuge with you, my lord, and ask you to order that a letter be written to the strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome to deliver to Phanias a copy of this memorandum, so that he may know that no claim is left to him concerning this nor concerning the recovery of the mnaieia, so that I may have received benefaction. […]
[…] I wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters.
Year […] of Domitian […]

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.
