Plainte relative à des toisons via HGV-meta
Petition to the king concerning undelivered fleeces. A petition addressed to King Ptolemy by a man of the Epigone from Ptolemais of the Arabs, complaining that someone who had agreed to buy or deliver wool still on the sheep handed over only 40 fleeces and withheld the rest. He asks the king to have the strategos Diophanes order an inquiry and send the offender for judgement; an official docket orders reconciliation or referral. machine translation

To King Ptolemy, greetings, […] of the Epigone, from Ptolemais of the Arabs. I am wronged
by […] the price of the wool that is on the sheep ready for shearing
[…] of the price agreed between us, both fleeces
[…] immediately, and that he should not have the right to shear the
wool without me […] when asked for the wool he has delivered to me 40 fleeces, but the
rest […] I therefore beg you, O King, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write […] to the epistates to look into these matters and, if this is true, to detain
[…] to send him to Diophanes for judgement, so that through
you, O King, […] I may obtain justice. Farewell.
[Docket:] [Above all reconcile] them; if not, send (him) to us so that we may look into it.
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.
