Report of a Military Unit (acta diurna vel nocturna) via APIS-papyrus

Morning report of a military unit with copy of a letter on an acclamation. Fragments of a Latin daily report of a Roman military unit in Egypt, perhaps the First Cohort of Numidians, recording soldiers present, on guard or on detached duty and the officers who received orders. The other side preserves a copy of a letter describing an event in August, apparently troops including a legion and the ala veterana Gallica saluting someone and swearing obedience, possibly a new emperor. 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.
