EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] To King Ptolemy, greetings from Stotoes son of Pasis, farmer from Polydeukia. I am wronged by Geroros, holder of 70 arouras. For although I own a house in the village, I have been thrown out of it by him and my animals are in the open air, since he uses force, even though he has […] given to him around the village as billeting. I therefore beg you, O King, if it seems good to you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Sosibios the epistates to send the man to him, and, if these things are true, not to allow him to throw me out of my own house, so that I may be able to devote myself to farming and through you, O King, the common saviour of all, obtain justice. [Farewell.] To Sosibios. Preferably reconcile them; if not, send them so that they may be judged before the koinodikion. Year 1, Gorpiaios 28, Tybi 12. [verso] Year 1, Gorpiaios 28, Tybi 12. Stotoes against Geroros, holder of 70 arouras, concerning a house.

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.
