Petition from the priores of the military unit of the Transtigritani to Menas, count and governor of the province of Arcadia, about the village of Kerke in the Arsinoite nome. After villagers drove off soldiers collecting annona owed to the unit, they repented but complained that bucellarii of the house of the patrician Strategios were extorting from them; the petitioners ask that the house's administrators restrain these retainers to prevent conflict. 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.
