Abstract: We show that the equations of motion for magnetically charged $p$-branes in $(n+p+2)$-dimensional AdS reduce to coupled one-dimensional Toda-type equations, and use this structure to construct static toroidal black branes with $T^n$ symmetry and $p$ translation-invariant directions. In the pure-Maxwell case we obtain an exact $\sinh$ solution--a $(p+2)$-dimensional black brane times an $n$-torus, asymptotically $\mathrm{AdS}_{p+2}\times T^n$--whose dilatonic analogue, with a scalar coupled through $e^{aϕ}$, has a running torus modulus and a non-trivial dilaton. A perturbative expansion reduces the linearized system to a pair of Pöschl-Teller equations, one elementary and one solved by associated Legendre functions of non-integer degree, so that the general solution is non-elementary; at weak coupling $ε=a^2$ we construct the $O(a^2)$ backreaction explicitly. From the surface gravity, horizon area, and holographic renormalization we obtain the Hawking temperature, entropy density, and mass density, verifying the first law $d\mathcal{M}=T_H\,ds$ and the traceless conformal stress tensor of the dual $(p+1)$-dimensional theory. At $O(a^2)$ the first law persists, but the dilaton source shifts the Stefan-Boltzmann exponent to $p_{\rm eff}=p+a^2/2$, breaking the clean power law $s\propto T_H^p$ while the normalizable dilaton hair decouples from the entropy.
