Lucius Septimius Aurelius Sarapion also called Apolinarios, and however I am styled, prytanis in office of the city of the Oxyrhynchites, to Aurelius Leonides, strategos, his dearest, greeting. Those who are to be required to pay from what they owe to the city, the sums going towards the payment of what is paid out from the account of the city, we are now also writing to you, so that the collection for the most sacred treasury may not be hindered. They are the Aurelii […] and Apollonios and Domitianos, the three sons of Sarapion also called […], former agoranomos, 400 drachmas; […] Heraklas, in the name of […] […] […]

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.
