End of a document with personal descriptions and dating clause TM 15546unbekannt

The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

The end of a Greek document from Roman Egypt, preserving physical descriptions (age and scars) of at least two persons, one named Aurelius Sote[…], followed by a dating clause in the reign of Philip the Arab and his son Philip, dated Thoth 5.

In English machine translation

[… ? lines lost …] […] about 56 years old, with a scar above the left calf. Aurelius Sote[…] [about … years old,] with a scar on the right shin. [Year …] of Imperator Caesar Marcus Julius Philippus [Pius Felix] and Marcus Julius Philippus [most noble] and most illustrious Caesar, Augusti, […] Thoth 5.

Descriptions of parties by age and scars are typical of contracts and similar legal documents, but the type of this document cannot be determined. The regnal year number is lost, so the exact year within Philip's reign is unknown.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Ende eines Dokuments). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
