To Flavius Ameinaias, praepositus of the camp of Dionysias,
from Aurelius Anteus […] from the village of Narmouthis.
The robberies and acts of greed committed in these parts by the more powerful men your manliness is accustomed to check, lord praepositus. Since, lord, I own 6 unsown arouras and do not have the means of grain for their dues, I farmed arouras in the village of Magais
with Aion son of Abos from the same village […]
the dues for the arouras which I own, as I said before […] the same Aion, after I had winnowed the threshing floors,
seized my grain and carried it off to his own place, and seized my own half share. And not only this, but I farmed other arouras under another
name from the same village and winnowed again
[…] the admirable Aion seized my grain […] lying […] in a tyrannical manner […] Abos […] having the fear
of God […] nor of you my lord, but taking confidence
in my affairs and in my own poor circumstances, wherefore
[…] with you […]
[…] so that, if it seems good to you, you may […]
[…] the aforesaid Aion be brought before you
and you may compel him to give back to me my share
and […] and at the same time I may be able to provide
from other […] the grain for the arouras which I own.
In the consulship of our masters Constantius for the 4th time
and Constans for the 3rd time, Augusti, Mesore 6. […]
[…]

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- 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 — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
