Memorandum to Comarchs via HGV-meta
Memorandum to the komarchs of Dositheou about concealed liturgists. A memorandum from Pekyllos, evidently an official, to the village heads (komarchs) of Dositheou, accusing them of hiding men wanted for compulsory public service. He orders them to hand over the wanted man to the komarch of Psobthis and the others too, or else perform the service themselves, and notes he has so far refrained from reporting them to the epistrategos. It comes from Oxyrhynchus in the 3rd century AD. machine translation

κωμάρχαις Δωσιθέου.
πολλοὶ λειτουργοὶ ζητούμενοι κλέπτονται ὑφʼ ὑμῶν
καὶ εἰς τιμὴν τῆς κώμης
ἔτι ἀνέχομαι. φροντίσατε οὖν
καὶ τὸν ζητούμενον παραδοῦναι τῷ τῆς Ψώβθεως
κωμάρχῃ, μὴ ὑμεῖς τὴν λειτουργίαν ὑποστῆτε. ἀλλὰ
καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους φροντίσατε
παραδοῦναι. ὡς γὰρ προεῖπον, τῷ ἐπιστρατήγῳ οὐ προσῆλθον εἰς τιμὴν τῆς κώμης, οὐχ ὑμῶν.

From Pekyllos to the komarchs of Dositheou.
Many liturgists who are being sought are being hidden away by you, and for the honour of the village I still bear with it. Take care, therefore, to hand over the man who is being sought to the komarch of Psobthis, lest you yourselves have to undertake the liturgy. But take care also to hand over the others. For as I said before, I did not go to the epistrategos, out of respect for the honour of the village, not for you.

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.
