Petition to a Centurion via HGV-meta
Petition of a veteran to a centurion about goods deposited with a fellow soldier. A veteran, Aurelius Abous (?), petitions the centurion Severus Iustus about goods worth 800 drachmas he had left with a fellow soldier, Petesouchos, while serving at Pelusium. After both were discharged, Petesouchos refused to account for them, and the petitioner asks that the parties be brought before the centurion so he can recover his property. It dates to Phamenoth of year 17 of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus (AD 177), probably from the Arsinoite nome. machine translation

To Severus Iustus, centurion,
from Aurelius Abous (?), veteran.
When I was serving in the army, lord, at Pelusium, I deposited with a certain Petesouchos, my fellow soldier and friend, equipment (?) valued at 800 drachmas. When I was transferred to the ala Vocontiorum, and when I called him to account about these things after the discharge of us both, he has not rendered account to me. Therefore I ask, since I have a mediator and he agreed, that they be brought before you, so that through your help I may be able to recover my own property.
Farewell.
Year 17 of the Emperors Caesars Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus and Lucius Aurelius Commodus, Armeniaci Medici Parthici Germanici Sarmatici Maximi, Phamenoth […].

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.
