[recto] To King Ptolemy, greetings from Krateia, one of those from Alexandrou Nesos. I am wronged by Philippos and Dionysios. For while my brother Apollodotos was a fellow member of their religious association (thiasos) […] with […] son of Maron, they being, the one priest and the other head of the association, when Apollodotos died, besides neither burying him nor following his funeral procession according to the law of the association, they have not even paid out the burial allowance due to him. I therefore beg you, O King, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos to compel them to pay me the burial allowance. For if this is done, I shall through you, O King, have obtained justice. Farewell. […] Having examined the law of the association, compel them to do what is just. […] But if they make any objection, send them to us. Year 1, Gorpiaios 28, Tybi 12. [verso] Year 1, Gorpiaios 28, Tybi 12. Krateia against Philippos and Dionysios concerning the burial allowance.

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.
