To Dioskoros and Sotas, praepositi of the 5th pagus,
from Isidoros son of Ptolemaios, from the village of Karanis in your pagus. The flocks of Pamounis and Harpalos damaged the crop I have sown, and moreover their cow again grazed down the same place, so that my farming became useless to me. When I caught the cow and was leading it up to the village, they met me in the fields with clubs, threw me to the ground, beat me severely with blows and took the cow away, as the wounds on me also show; and if I had not received help from Antoninus the deacon and Isak the monk, who happened to be present, they might perhaps have killed me outright. Therefore I submit this written statement, asking that they be brought before you concerning both the crop and the outrage, and that my right of action before the prefect's court also be reserved for me […]
In the consulship to be announced for the 4th time, Pauni 12.

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.
