Prefect's letter ordering registration and examination of priests and pastophoroi.

Copy of a letter. Gaius Turranius […]
[…] have been declared (?) not fit to be registered,
and that the priests and pastophoroi admitted each year
are neither of priestly descent nor admitted to the liturgies […]
[…]. I therefore order that there be recorded those
priests and pastophoroi who are admitted, and the
others from all the temples […]
and children, and make clear what services they perform,
so that I may examine them in the (records) of year 26 of Caesar, and those who are not of priestly descent […]
[…] without delay.
Year 26 of Caesar, Pauni 10.

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.
