EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Philoxenos, former kosmetes, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, division of Themistos, from Herieus son of Satabous, of those from Soknopaiou Nesos. Already from year 13 of the deified Claudius I leased an oil-press from the estate formerly of Narkissos at a rent of 200 drachmas and 3 choes of oil. But since then, as the administrators have not supplied for the machinery either the measuring-boxes (?) or the other things that were needed, I myself was compelled to buy them at my own expense and fit it out, and likewise the mill and mortars and the other necessary things, again at my own expense, without their paying any attention to me. Since, then, the oil-press itself has also collapsed (?) and I was compelled to put in beams and supports, and for two years I have been compelled, while out of the oil-press, to pay the rents from my own resources, I ask, being no longer able to bear the losses, that you compel the administrators to leave me unmolested concerning the rents.

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.
