[recto] [fragment A] […] presiding over […] and saying some such unlawful things, he compelled the mutual friends to bring me to a settlement with him, so extremely forced that […] contrary to the laws, that he should have half of the slaves and that I, the lawful heir, (should have) the other half under […] […] […] someone […] to say […] […] for […] [whom] he has sold […] and he himself […] on this […] an agreement for us with […] slaves well to the one in charge of Alexandria […] Eugenios […] the handing over and the […] [production (?)] […] he has made and […] […] [… 5 lines lost …] [recto] [fragment B] […] [unless] […] having died […] [nor did] the master [make any other disposition about the slaves] when he was about to die. [But now, having considered this by myself and] having grasped the error that occurred, [I have reflected, astonished at the] unexpected and ill-considered nature of the affair. [Therefore I now secure myself, asking] and begging your [exactness regarding the laws], O lord, [if indeed I must bear] the deception concerning the slaves, [that at least a correction of the] error be made in the minutes [and that this be added:] […] [verso] [fragment B] the proceedings in Alexandria concerning the slaves […] a lawsuit concerning the slaves […] if hereafter wills [made by him] become known, [it is necessary] that he too comply [with what is shown in the wills and that no] prejudice exist, [if this] […] […] [… 5 lines lost …] [verso] [fragment A] [and (he) having asked that they be] under guard, [and since Eugenios no longer has anything to say against me], [I ask, lord, that] these be handed over to me [and released from this guard], [for] the laws now call [me to ownership of them, being the brother] [of that Har]pokration [by the same father and the same mother, and as the] [contents of the divine rescript] given to Eugenios [stand, observing the sequence of the laws].

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.
