Fragment of a petition (?) mentioning violence in a village TM 28865Tebtynis? (Arsinoites)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 →

A small fragment from the right-hand loss of a Greek document, possibly a petition, from the 2nd century AD, probably from Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome. Only scattered words survive, mentioning knees, a village, someone being terrified, and killing or doing away with something.

In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] this […] knees (?) and […] in the village […] […] to be […] nothing […] […] was terrified […] to kill (?) […] here […]

Identification as a petition is tentative. The word translated 'to kill' (anelein) can also mean 'to take away' or 'remove'.

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