To Ammonios, strategos of the Arabian (nome), from Panotbeus son of Psibechis, his mother being Taphesieus, from the village of […]. Having been nominated as a man of means to receive the artabas of wheat bought by compulsory purchase (?) being sent to the administration of Neapolis, in accordance with the letter written to you by Julius Macedo, centurion, I swear by the fortune of Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Caesar the lord that I will immediately receive the (artabas) from […] loaded onto boats of the compulsorily purchased wheat, and that I will bring them down to Alexandria and deliver them to the administration of Neapolis and will bring back a receipt. This handwritten declaration is valid. And I have provided as my guarantor Apollonios son of Abnesis, former high priest of the city of the Phakousitai. Year 24 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus Armeniacus Medicus Parthicus Sarmaticus Germanicus Maximus, Hathyr […]. (2nd hand) I, Panotbeus son of Pibechis, my mother being Tapesieus, swore the oath as stated above. I, Apollonios son of Abnesis, former high priest, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters, and I stand guarantor for him. (3rd hand) I, Posidonios, serving in the allotment, have checked it.

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.
