Description

Petition from Panopolis (modern name: Akhmim), Egypt, written on papyrus. Aurelius Horion, son of Horion, writes to Flavius Nestorios, praefectus Aegypti or prefect of Egypt, through his uncle on his father's side, Ammon, the well-known scholastikos, or lawyer. Horion claims his right to succeed his father in the position of prophet (a priest) of the Panopolite Nome against the scheming of the high priest. Makes reference to an imperial rescript of Diocletian in this matter. Apparently the fee for the priesthood has already been paid. Part of the archive of Ammon. Verso has a petition in Greek (P.Duk.inv. 179 V)

About this record's data

From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
