Fragment mentioning the Emperor TM 21189Oxyrhynchites

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 →

A small fragment of a Greek papyrus from the Oxyrhynchite nome. Only scattered words survive, including references to the Emperor and Caesar, something lawful, and 'those fallen'; the nature of the document cannot be determined.

In English machine translation

[…] lawful (?) the […] will hold together […] to the Emperor […] ⟦to the Emperor⟧ […] […] for all (time) (?) […] instead of […] and […] to Caesar […] and if your […] of those fallen […] many.

The word 'to the Emperor' was written and then deleted by the scribe in one line. The phrase 'of those fallen' could refer to fallen persons or to things that have befallen or lapsed; the context is lost.

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