Fragments of legal proceedings (?) mentioning Salome, Mariame and a veteran TM 27011MurabaatMitte II

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 →

Scraps of a Greek document from the caves of Wadi Murabbaat in the Judaean Desert, possibly the record of a legal proceeding. The surviving phrases mention lands, two women named Salome and Mariame (the latter apparently giving testimony), a veteran, and an official reply or ruling.

In English machine translation

[Fragment A] […] … […] … […] in the same lands (?) […] […] remaining (?) mother (?) […] existing and being even now […] […] … Salome […] […] your […] Mariame who said […] […] veteran. But if anyone errs (?) […] […] … reply (decision) … […] […] … […] [Fragment B] […] … […] […] […] [Fragment C] […] seed (?) […] […] […] […] and to the […] [Fragment D] … [Fragment E] […] … […] […] boundaries (?) […] […] … […] [Fragment F] […] […] [Fragment G] […] … […] […] […] … […] [Fragment H] […] boundaries (?) […] […] … […] […] … […]

The identification as court proceedings is tentative. The word apokrima normally denotes an official written response or ruling, often by a governor or emperor.

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