[To – – –] Messius Audax, centurio , [from NN], son of Apo[llo]nios and A[pol]lon[i]os, son of Chairas, and A[m]monios, son of Arabion and [.]arion, son of Chairas, and Euangelos, son of Euangelos, and Dios, son of another Euangelos, and [P]tolemaios, son of Apollonios, and Ptolemaios, son of S[a]mbas, and Maximus, son of Apollonios, of those from the metropolis . In the present year 5 of Traianus Caesar, the lord, we along with others, who are also from the metropolis , were nominated in an insulting manner for the office of sitologos of the village of Bakchias. As we could not find any rest concerning this, we petitioned you and you ordered us to journey to Alexandria will not be sufficient in this way we petitioned the prefect , Minicius Italus, vir egregius , in Alexandria. He sent us to the conventus , which is due to take place here under him. The state sitologoi of the village did not cease their insulting behaviour towards us, but came together with the archephodos of the village without official authority to houses belonging to us in the village and broke down the doors of some of them and even put the store rooms of some of them under seal in order to try to levy from us the shortfall within the sitologos -office , in which we had no hand. We, therefore, request, if it seems right to you, to order them to restrain themselves towards us, until the prefect , vir egregius , is present here and hears our case .

An Messius Audax, den centurio , von ***, Sohn des Apo[llô]nios, und A[pol]lôn[i]os, Sohn des Chairas, und A[m]mônios, Sohn des Arabiôn, und [.]ariôn, Sohn des Chairas, und Euangelos, Sohn des Euangelos, und Dios, Sohn eines anderen Euangelos, und [P]tolemaios, Sohn des Apollônios, und Ptolemaios, Sohn des S[a]mbas, und Maximus, Sohn des Apollônios, von den (Leuten) aus der Metropole . Im gegenwärtigen 5. Jahr des Traianus Caesar, des Herren, wurden wir zusammen mit anderen, die auch aus der Metropole stammen, in beleidigender Weise für die Sitologie des Dorfes Bakchias vorgeschlagen . Weil wir wegen dieser Sache keine Ruhe finden konnten, haben wir uns an Dich gewandt und Du hast uns angewiesen, nach Alexandria zu reisen *** und so nicht ausreichen wird *** wandten wir uns in Alexandria an den Statthalter Minicius Italus, den vir egregius . Er verwies uns an den hier unter ihm abzuhaltenden Konvent . [Die] staatlichen Sitologen des Dorfes aber beendeten ihr beleidigendes Verhalten gegen uns nicht, sondern drangen ganz ohne Befugnis mit dem archephodos des Dorfes in die uns im Dorf gehörenden Häuser ein. Dabei brachen sie die Türen einiger Häuser auf und bei einigen versiegelten sie <die> Vorratsräume, weil sie den Fehlbetrag der Sitologie , den wir nicht übernommen haben, eintreiben wollten. Hiermit ersuchen wir darum, uns, wenn es Dir gefällt, zu gestatten, uns von ihnen fernzuhalten, bis der Statthalter , der vir egregius , in der Gegend eintrifft und uns anhört .

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.
