Order from Sosibios to Andouros via APIS-papyrus

Order from Sosibios to Andouros to let pass Italian wine. A short ostracon order, apparently a customs pass, in which Sosibios instructs Andouros to let a man named Herak( ), son of Haryothes, pass with 16 jars of Italian wine. It was found in the Roman dump at Berenike on the Red Sea and probably dates to about AD 33-70. 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.
