bgu.3.742 122 - 138Arsinoites
Archive keepers' report on disputed land registrations of Lysarion and Herodes. Report from the keepers of the Arsinoite property archives, Dionysios and Herakleides, to the royal scribe of the Herakleides division, answering an inquiry forwarded from a letter of Haterius. It concerns a dispute between Lysarion daughter of Melas and Herodes son of Polemon over catoecic land near Philoteris, both of whom registered claims on Pharmouthi 26 of Hadrian's 6th year (AD 122), and whether the land was ceded as dowry or bought before being seized. 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.
