To Aurelius Gordianus, beneficiarius on station,
from Aurelia Taesis daughter of Kopres, from the village of Karanis. Having suffered violence and an unlawful assault, [being deprived (?)] of our [property] by my paternal brother Chairemon, from the same village of Karanis, unable to bear this I have come to seek the protection of the laws. Left an infant by my parents, I stayed with my maternal brother Ammonios, who raised me, while my paternal inheritance was stolen and held by the aforementioned Chairemon; and while I was still of tender age I kept quiet about this, but by the providence of God, having come of age, I was compelled to proceed against this same aforementioned Chairemon concerning my paternal property which he holds. And when I had petitioned once and a second time the beneficiarius entrusted with the decadarchy, he ordered him to give back what he has in his possession, but he did not [give it back]. Yesterday, which was the 24th, his daughters Kyrilla and Tasoucharion and Taesis and T[…] and Thatres their mother […] me, maltreating me with blows, [tearing out (?)] my hair and ripping my clothing, threw me to the ground and left me, in the presence of Hol and Kasios, public officials of the same village, who rescued me from the women […]

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.
