To King Ptolemy, greetings, […]is son of Horos, royal farmer, from Alexandrou Nesos. I am wronged by […] and […] and Sobchanopis, the brothers of this man, who are also the younger brothers of my father. […]os son of Horos, at his death, being of sound health (?), left a house and a palm grove and […], of which two parts belong to my father Horos, because he is the elder son of them […] of the property; but now I am being driven out by the aforementioned and […] son of Horos, who use force. I therefore beg you, O king, if it seems good to you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write […] to the epistates there to send them to Diophanes and, if these things are true, to compel them to give back to me the share belonging to my father, so that through you, O king, the common saviour of all, I may obtain justice. Farewell.
[…] Above all, reconcile them; otherwise send them to us so that we may examine the matter.
Year 25, Loios 26, Choiak 13.

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.
