Description

Petition addressed to Lucius Valerius Proculus, prefect of Egypt, by Ptolemaios, son of Diodoros, a tenant on the imperial estates in the Arsinoite nome, who complains that Isidoros, one of the sailors-divers attached to the irrigation service in the nome, has, through an agent named Ammonios, driven him from his leasehold, excluded him from his house, and done him violence until money was extorted from him. The endorsement by the prefect (3rd hand) shows that his request of a hearing of the case in front of the strategos of the name was granted.

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.
