Eingabe an den Rat von Antinoe via HGV-meta
Petition of two Antinoites to the council against nomination to a liturgy. Two citizens of Antinoopolis petition their city council, complaining that the village scribe of Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, where they own land, maliciously nominated them for the liturgy of grain transport despite their exemption granted by Hadrian. They ask the council to refer the matter to the epistrategos Calpurnius Concessus so that substitutes are appointed and the scribe is held to account. Dated 13 August AD 196. machine translation

To the most excellent council of the Antinoites, New Hellenes,
from Lucius Valerius Lucretianus of the Matidian tribe and Plotinian deme, and Lucius Longinus Herennius of the Paulinian tribe and Megalesian deme. You are not unaware, most excellent sirs, that we have been exempted from all liturgies elsewhere by the ordinance of the deified Hadrian, also founder of our city. Since, then, when we were at the village of Philadelphia in the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, where we own land, for the settlement of public taxes, the village scribe of the said village, Aphrodas son of Theon, out of spite nominated us for the transport of the grain, contrary to what has been ordained. Of necessity, lords, we make this approach to you, asking you, if it seems good to you, to refer the matter to the most excellent epistrategos Calpurnius Concessus, so that, in accordance with the rights belonging to us, he may order others to be appointed in our place, and that he (the village scribe) be held to account for his outrageous conduct, and that we be kept free from harassment in future. Farewell.
Year 4 of Imperator Caesar Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax Augustus Arabicus Adiabenicus, Mesore 20.
I, Lucius Valerius Lucretianus, have submitted this and written on behalf of Herennius, who does not know letters.

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.
