Statilius Ammianus to Septimius Eudaimon, former kosmetes of the Alexandrians, son of Septimius Serenus, greetings.
I have appointed you embolarch of the Oxyrhynchite nome. Knowing, therefore, the risk of the service, take care to make all the public animals serve the embole, so that the ships sent for the grain transport may not be held up. Farewell (?) […]
[Year] […] of our lord Aurelian Augustus, Pauni 4.

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.
