Αὐρηλίῳ Ἥρωνι στρατηγῷ Ἀρσινοείτου
παρὰ Αὐρηλίου Ἰσιδώρου Πτολεμαίου ἀπὸ κώμης Καρανίδος. φθάνω μὲν καὶ πρώην, στρατηγῶν ἄριστε, βιβλία σοι ἐπιδεδωκέναι
κατὰ τὴν κζ τοῦ Μεσορὴ μηνὸς τοῦ διεληλυθότος ἔτους ὡς κακούργων τινῶν ἐνπρησάντων ἣν εἶχα ἁλωνίαν περὶ τὴν αὐτὴν κώμην ἀπὸ συνκομιδῆς τῶν ὑπαρχουσῶν μοι ἀρουρῶν ἕνδεκα ὥστε τηρεῖσθαί μοι λόγον πρὸς τοὺς φανησομένους αἰτίους
ἀξιώσαντός μου διὰ τῆς αὐτῆς τῶν βιβλίων μου ἐπιδόσεως ὑπηρέτην ἀποσταλῆναι πρὸς τὸ κατελθόντα ἔνθα τὸ ἀτόπημα ἐγένετο
καὶ ἐπιδόντα προσφωνῆσαι περὶ τούτου, καθὸ ταῦτα προσεφώνησεν.
πολυπραγμονοῦντος δέ μου ἔμαθον τοὺς τοῦτο τολμήσαντας,
λέγω δὴ Ἀκοτᾶν υἱὸν Γερμανοῦ καὶ Χαιρήμονα υἱὸν Πτολεμαίου

To Aurelius Heron, strategos of the Arsinoite nome,
from Aurelius Isidoros son of Ptolemaios, from the village of Karanis. I have already previously, best of strategoi, submitted a petition to you on the 27th of the month of Mesore of the past year, to the effect that certain malefactors had set fire to the threshing floor which I had near the same village, from the harvest of the 11 arouras belonging to me, so that my claim might be preserved against those who should be shown to be responsible, and I requested through that same submission of my petition that an assistant be sent to go down to where the outrage took place and, having inspected it, to make a report about it, as he did report these things. But on making enquiries I learned who had dared to do this, I mean Akotas son of Germanos and Chairemon son of Ptolemaios

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.
