EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Lucius Julius […] from Apollonios […] of those from the city of Oxyrhynchus of the Oxyrhynchite nome. I borrowed, together with Theon son of Hasys, from Harsiesis the brother of Theon, 200 drachmas of silver, of which I paid the yearly interest to Harsiesis and to his wife Teteuris. But now Harsiesis, casting envious eyes on the share of a house belonging to me, of which he is my partner, has dared to carry out against it documents of distraint, wishing to take possession of a share of a house worth at the least 2,000 drachmas of silver in return for the 200 drachmas of the loan, of which half falls to Theon. Moreover, although the strategos of the nome, as a result of the petition I made, forbade Harsiesis to carry out anything, he disregarded the order, being a violent man. Therefore I ask you, lord, if it seems good, to write to the strategos of the nome to send up to you Theon and Harsiesis and Teteuris, who received the interest, so that I may obtain justice from you and be benefited. Farewell. [Fragment] […] (only scattered letters survive) […]

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.
