In the consulship of our masters Constantius for the 3rd time and Constans for the 2nd time, the Augusti, Phamenoth. To Aurelius Dioskoros, overseer of the peace of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Aurelius Ptolemaios son of Silvanus, from the same city. Having appended a copy of what I reported to my lord the most eminent prefect of Augustamnica, Flavius Julius Ausonius, I submit this petition, asking that action be taken in accordance with what has been ordered. The copy is as follows: Of the orders: Flavius Julius Ausonius to the overseer of the peace of the Oxyrhynchite nome. You will learn from the attached document whom Ptolemaios accused when he submitted a petition to my Devotion. Take care therefore, if you find that he is telling the truth, […] Farewell. Of the report: To Flavius Julius Ausonius, prefect of Augustamnica, from Aurelius Ptolemaios son of Silvanus, from the splendid and most splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites. […] against my humble self […] […] […]

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.
