To Aurelius Dionysion, logistes of the Arsinoite nome,
from Aurelius Isidoros son of Ptolemaios, from the village of Karanis.
On the day before yesterday I had already submitted a petition to you against Melas and his shepherds concerning the one aroura of hay crop that I had sown, which they have eaten down (by grazing). Since, then, when these men were summoned […] by your diligence, I have learned that my opponents have submitted a petition against me to you, necessarily, since […] not only did this to me, but also on another occasion […] sowing […] received (?) […], I approach you so that you may keep me free from violence and avenge everything according to the laws. For indeed Li…on, the bandit-catcher, is a witness […] that on another occasion Melas attempted the same […] me, to the ruin of our (property).
Farewell.

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.
