[1] [… lines lost …] [2] In the consulship of our lords Constantine Augustus for the 6th time and Constantine the most noble Caesar for the 1st time. To Sostratos Aelianus, strategos or exactor of the Hermopolite nome, from Aurelius Adelphios son of Adelphios, gymnasiarch, councillor of Hermopolis the most splendid city. I own estate land (ousiake) near Tarouthis, which came to me by succession from my father, and which I have farmed from long ago and farmed now too, having incurred very great expenses so as to be able easily to discharge the pious contributions. Now, since the season of the harvesting of the crops called, I went there for their gathering, but Sois and Ibois and many other partners of theirs from the same Tarouthis, behaving with village insolence, came on and hindered the crops; and so that no disorder may arise concerning them, I submit to your diligence this petition, asking that the violence be stopped and that I be permitted to harvest the crops which I myself sowed on my own land. If they think they have any right regarding this land, let them appear before the prefect's court. In the aforesaid consulship, Pharmouthi […]2.

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.
