[…] year 15 […] To Asklepiades, strategos, and Hierax, royal scribe, from Herakles son of Mencheus, his mother being Tatas, and Ptollis son of Amois, his mother being Thaesis, both from the village of Talao, priests of Herakles the most great god. With reference to the item of the Idios Logos passed on for examination from the accounts of year 15, of which this is a copy: "The undermentioned minors, sons of priests and of members of the priestly class, having reached the age of fourteen in the 15th year of Hadrian Caesar the lord, paid the entrance fee after the deadline. So that it may be examined whether anything is owed on their offices to the treasury or to outside parties, and which of them, having been examined as usual by the chief prophet, also received the certificate from him, it is passed on. Lower toparchy, Talao, priests of Herakles the most great god: Panemgeus son of Herakles son of Mencheus, his mother being Tathonas daughter of Panemgeus; Amois son of Ptollis son of Amois, his mother being Ta[…]llas." We declare, swearing by Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, that nothing is owed on the offices of our aforementioned sons either to the treasury or to outside parties, and that it is not the custom for such persons to be examined by the chief prophet; otherwise may we be liable to the oath. Year 16 of Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, month Hadrianos 25. We, Herakles son of Mencheus and Ptollis son of Amois, have submitted this and sworn the oath. I, […]is son of Alexander, wrote on their behalf since 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.
