To Zenon, greetings, Ammeneus, swineherd. Per your instructions to us for rearing the pigs for the festival of Arsinoe, having put my himation down as a pledge, I bought the pigs and reared them, so that you might not find fault with me. But as I was bringing them down, going off into the… 2 of our pigs were lost, and I found the man who had them; but he will return neither of them to us until you write to him, and by a crocodile… I did not take them away for myself… by those in the village that he may not take them (?). So write to them, and to Timotheos, so that no such thing may happen. And Se[..].s, concerning whom I gave you the petition, is not allowing me to graze the pigs. Farewell. These are the names of the men who have taken the pigs for themselves: K…[.]pis, son of Psenpesos, kômarchês, 1 pig. Aristoboulos, 1 pig; I pointed him out to the phylakitai. And at night 1 pig was lost, concerning which I went to see the phylakitai, and they said that it was at Leukippos’ house. (J. Bauschatz, Law and Enforcement, p. 268)

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.
