EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Copy of a letter of the epistrategos of the Thebaid. Aelius Faustinus to the strategos of the Lykopolite nome, greetings. I have noted the petition of Apollophanes son of Horion and ordered it to be sent to you. Since he says that, being himself a father of Antinoite children and not paying the poll tax, he was through ignorance nominated by Xenokrates to the collection of fines, and now, having come to stay […] for the settlement of public dues he has been detained […] in the service: see to it, if these things are so, in accordance with what he cited as having been decided in similar cases, that other names be sent in his place for the service. I pray for your health. Year 22 of Antoninus Caesar the lord, Pachon 4.

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.
