bgu.15.2462 Anfang III (?)Herakleopolites (?)

Fragment of a Petition (?) via HGV-meta

Application to the exegetes concerning a guardian, inheritance and slaves. Fragment of an application, apparently a petition, that encloses a memorandum from Eudaimonis daughter of Ptolemaios to Ptolemaios also called Soterichos, priest and exegetes. It concerns an inheritance divided in equal shares, four slaves and their manumission, a yearly clothing allowance of 200 drachmas, and her difficulty acting without a legal guardian since she has no husband and her children are abroad. It probably comes from the Herakleopolite nome in the early 3rd century AD. machine translation

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.
