Fragment of a petition TM 36785Antinoopolis (?)VI

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 document, catalogued as a petition, from the sixth century AD, possibly from Antinoopolis. Only scattered words survive, including a mention of Antinoos (probably the city of Antinoopolis) and a complaint of someone's unfairness or ingratitude.

In English machine translation

[…] […] of Antinoopolis (?) […] […] […] and all […] […] of others always […] […] aforementioned […] […] all ingratitude (?) and […] […]

The Greek agnōmosynē, rendered here as "ingratitude", is typical of petition language and means unfair or unreasonable conduct. The identification as a petition rests on this vocabulary, since the opening and the request are lost.

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