A short order or letter from Taurinos to Senouthes, notary and anystes (an official charged with tax collection), asking for the immediate release of a vinedresser named Jeremiah who had been detained. The man worked at a place called 'of Lenaios' for the learned advocate (scholastikos) Kollouthos. It comes from the Hermopolite nome in Late Antique Egypt.
An anystes was a late antique official responsible for collecting taxes; a scholastikos was a legally trained advocate. The phrase 'en tō Lenaiou' probably refers to a vineyard or estate named after Lenaios, and its exact construction with Kollouthos is uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Taurinos a Senouthios anystes. Ordine di liberazione di un vignaiolo). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
