To Flavius Abinnaeus, prefect of the [ala] of soldiers of the camp of Dionysias, [from] A...st, son of Heron, from the village of [Hermou]polis.
Some considerable time ago, [lord], ten pigs [in number] were driven off from me by some [evildoers], and when I was searching into their driving off, being present in the village [I found] Zoilos son of Diogenes. [For this very reason] I ask and beg your [benevolence] that you arrest him and compel him to confess the [evildoer] who was with him, and then forward what [I have] written to the knowledge of my lord the [dux]; for it is his task to punish those who dare [such things]. And [having obtained] this, I shall acknowledge [my gratitude] to you, lord. [Farewell.]
I, Aurelius A...st, have submitted (this).
In the consulship of our masters Constantius Augustus for the 4th time [and Constans] Augustus for the 4th time, Tybi [...].

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.
