Fragment of a petition to Serenos TM 33359unbekanntIV - V

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 →

Fragment of a petition addressed to a certain Serenos, apparently an official of the city, appealing to his care and benevolence and closing with a farewell formula. It dates to the 4th or 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] to Serenos […] of the city […] your […] care […] […] to your benevolence […] Lord, farewell.

Only scattered phrases survive; Serenos' title is lost, and the identification as a petition rests on the address and the formulaic appeals to the official's care and benevolence.

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