To Vegetus also called Sarapion, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division,
from Stotoetis son of Horion
and Panoupis son of Tesenouphis,
both from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos.
A certain Horion came down to our village and urged us
to go up to the metropolis
and buy from his father
Stotoetis, called the Small,
wheat; and having taken from us 300 silver drachmas as the price of the wheat, to give to his father,
he disappeared, carrying off also a box of mine in which there was a new belt. When we went to his father about the wheat,
he denied having received the money or knowing where his son is. Therefore we ask that this memorandum remain on file with you, so that he himself may appear and be brought,
and his father, before you, so that we may obtain justice from you.
Stotoetis, aged 28, with a scar on the left cheek;
Panoupis, aged 26, without distinguishing marks.
Year 22 of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, Phaophi 24.

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.
