EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Copy. To Vedius Faustus, the most excellent epistrategos, from […] from the village of Philadelphia of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. I am a public farmer of a great many arouras of our village; but improperly Ptollas, village scribe of the village of Bakchias, for no reason […] assigned to me 7 1/2 arouras of public land. When I undertook to object concerning these, according to custom, as has been ordained, on the grounds that I had taken up unsown […] […], lord, the same Ptollas ordered the collectors of grain taxes of Psenarpsenesis […] to arrest both me and my wife and to shut us up for many days with the chief of police, demanding rents which I do not owe for land which I do not hold. Since, therefore, I have been detained by him until now, I ask, if it seems good to your fortune, to hear me […] so that I may make clear to you, lord, […] having been wronged […] accusing […] of Kollouthos and Eirenaios […] on the grounds that the arouras had been inundated […] and not being able […] useful for the harvest […] you ordered for this an officer (officialis) to the places […], who, having gone to the plots and […] of them a report on the condition of the same plots, which the same village scribe had not assigned, in which they now are, to which I said before, he handed me over in ignorance and they imposed 7 1/2 arouras, which […] the same Ptollas assigned to […] him […] therefore, being convicted of what he did […] [… lines lost …]

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.
