[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Therous and Teos. We are wronged by Temsois and Senemenopis and Teteim[…] and Herieus and the other female members of the religious association (thiasos) from Kerkethoeris, in the division of Polemon. For Soeris my sister, wife of the aforementioned Teos, who was a fellow member of the association with the aforementioned women and had held the priesthood of the association for 4 years, happened to die […]; and since she has no next of kin other than us, the aforementioned women, when asked, do not pay the burial money. We therefore beg you, King, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Ptolemaios the epistates that, if they are even now willing, they pay us the burial money, and if not, that he send them to Diophanes so that they may be compelled to pay us, so that through you, King, I may obtain justice.
Farewell.
To Ptolemaios. Above all reconcile them; if not, send them to us from the 10th of Choiak, so that they may be judged before the competent court. Year 4, Daisios 27, Hathyr 29.

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.
