Certificate of enrollment of a new recruit |
| Summary |
The Board provides the new recruit, Patermouthios son of Dios, with the status of a Flavius, with this receipt
acknowledging that they have the certificate which orders his enrollment in the regiment of Elephantine. The
steps are presumably as follows: 1. Marianos, the chief military officer of the Thebaid, stationed at Antaeopolis,
issues a recruitment certificate for Patermouthios and sends it to the Board of non-commissioned officers at
Elephantine; 2. eight representatives of the Board send a receipt (lines 14-15) in the form of a contract (line 19) to
Patermouthios; 3. the Board registers him on their roster on January 1 (lines 7-8).
There is no ready explanation for the presence of this document of Patermouthios son of Dios in the archive of
Patermouthios son of Menas. We cannot take this Patermouthios son of Dios as identical with the
Patermouthi(o)s son of Menas, the last owner of our archive, since the latter continues to be designated Aurelius
(P. Lond. V 1724.6, 1729.7, 1727.4; P. Munch. 9.8-9) down through 585 (P. Lond.
V 1730.6). Only then is he known as Flavius, whereas the recruit in our document of 578 is already
designated Flavius.
Just as here the Duke of the Thebaid orders the recruitment of a soldier at Elephantine, so in 219 BCE the Chief of
Thebes (the Greek Thebarch?) appoints the lesonis of Khnum at Elephantine (see P. Berlin 13543).
Laut OPAC BSB:
Eintragung eines Rekruten in die Matrikel. Der Papyrus besteht aus vier Selides von ursprünglich 11 - 12 cm Höhe, die erste und letzte sind bereits vom Schreiber beschnitten, so dass von ihnen nur noch 5 cm und 9,5 cm übrig blieben. Es ist ein grobfaseriger, gut geglätteter Stoff von mittelbrauner Farbe, von dem sich die tiefschwarze Tinte scharf abhebt. - Schrift: Die Schrift des Rekto läuft senkrecht zur Klebung, parallel zur Faserung, die Inhaltsangabe auf dem Verso steht senkrecht zu den Zeilen des Rekto. Die Schrift des Rekto samt der Unterschrift stammt von demselben Verfasser, der eine im ganzen senkrecht stehende, stark verschnörkelte Minuskelkursive von großer Mannigfaltigkeit der Formen verwendet; sie trägt den Charakter einer Kanzleischrift. ... Die Inhaltsangabe stammt vielleicht von einer zweiten Hand, es ist eine einfache steile Minuskelkursive ... Der Papyrus ist hier und da löcherig, die Schrift hat an den Klebungen gelitten, im übrigen ist die Urkunde vorzüglich erhalten. - Rekto 22 Zeilen, verso 1 Zeile.
Laut L. Wenger (Repertorium BSB):
"Eine merkwürdige Ἀποχὴ προβατορίας, ausgestellt vom ὁ κοινὸς τῶν προτεθόντων τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τῶν στρατιωτῶν τοῦ φρουρίου Ἐλεφαντίνης (Z. 1) an Fl. Patermouthios, Sohn des Dios, νεοστράτῳ τείρονι (tironi) (Z. 2).
Wichtig für Militärverwaltung; ferner Datierung des Des Dux et Augustalis Thebaïdos Theodoros Julianos.
