[To King Ptolemy, greetings from …, one of those] in Alexandrou Nesos. I am wronged by
[Dorotheos …] ⟦… her⟧ village. For in year 5, according to the revenue reckoning, in Phamenoth,
[…] my fellow wool-worker, having noticed my cloak,
[…] went off with it. When I perceived it, […]
[…] the cloak in the prayer-house of the Jews […] people; and Lezelmis, holder of 100 arouras, arrives on the scene
[…] the cloak to Nikomachos the sexton until judgment
[…] I beg you therefore, O King, to order Diophanes
[the strategos to write …] to the epistates to send Dorotheos and Nikomachos [… and the] cloak before him, and, if what I write is true,
[to compel him to give me back the] cloak or its price, and concerning the misdeed
[…] For if this is done, I shall, through you, O King,
[have obtained justice]. Farewell.

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.
