In order, therefore, that it may be examined whether anything is owed by their ranks to the public treasury or otherwise, and which of them are customarily examined by the chief prophet and received the certificate from him, it is transmitted. Lower toparchy, Talao, priests of Zeus and Hera of the Greek temple: […]miy[…], son of Ar[…]sios, his mother being Thaesis, daughter of Apollonios; Harmiysis, son of An[…], son of Harmiysis, his mother being […]; […] son of Diogas […]" [… lines lost …] […] greatest […] we declare, swearing by the Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, that nothing is owed by the ranks of our above-written sons either to the public treasury or otherwise, 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 the Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, month Hadrianos 25. We, An[…], son of Harmiysis, and […]sios, and Diogas, son of Horos, have submitted this and sworn the oath. […] I 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.
