Fragment of a draft petition mentioning blameless liturgical service TM 29117unbekanntII
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 draft petition or letter from the 2nd century AD in which the writer mentions elders (presbyteroi) and tax collection and claims to have served blamelessly in a compulsory public office in previous years. The rest of the text is lost.
In English machine translation
[…]
[…] … elders … collection of taxes (?) …
[…] I performed the liturgy blamelessly in the past years […]
[…]
The record describes the text as a draft of a petition or letter, so the genre is uncertain. A liturgy was a compulsory public service imposed on qualified residents, and praktoreia refers to the office or work of tax collection.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Draft of a Petition / Letter). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
