βασιλεῖ Πτολεμαίωι χαίρειν Θέων καὶ Τεύτιος Φιλίππου, Μακεδόνες τῆς ἐπιγονῆς, ἐκ Φαρβαίθου.
ἀδικούμεθα ὑπὸ Θευδότου καὶ Ἀγάθωνος, οἵ εἰσιν οἰκεῖοι τῆς μητρὸς Φιλίππου τοῦ τετελευτηκότος. ἡμῶν γὰρ ἐπιτρόπων ὄντων Φιλίππης, τῆς θυγατρὸς Φιλίππου, ἐπιζητοῦντές τινα
μέρη τῶν καταλειφθέντων ὑπαρχόντων ὑπὸ Φιλίππου, εὑρίσκομεν τοὺς προειρημένους ἐξενηνοχότας, ὧν τὸ καθʼ ἓν ἐνδειξόμεθα ἐπὶ Φιλώτου τοῦ ἐπιστάτου. καὶ ἐνδεεῖς δὲ γενόμενοι εἰς
τὴν ταφὴν τὴν Φιλίππου δραχμῶν κε, ἐδώκαμεν τὰ κατάφρακτα καὶ τὸν ὑποδύτην καὶ τὴν ἐφαπτίδα, σὺν τῆι σακκοπήραι ἐν ἧι ἐνῆν, Ἀγάθωνι τῶι προειρημένωι ἐνέχυρα θεῖναι· βουλομένων δὲ ἡμῶν κομίσασθαι τὰ ἐνέχυρα, ἀποδιδόντες τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς δεδομένα καὶ τὸν
τόκον, οὐκ ἀποδίδωσιν ἡμῖν ἀλλὰ παρέλκει. δεόμεθα οὖν σου, βασιλεῦ, εἴ σοι δοκεῖ,
προστάξαι Διοφάνει τῶι στρατηγῶι γράψαι Φιλώται τῶι ἐπιστάτηι, ἐὰν ἦι ἀληθῆ

[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Theon and Teutios, sons of Philippos, Macedonians of the epigone, from Pharbaithos.
We are wronged by Theudotos and Agathon, who are relatives of the mother of the late Philippos. For while we were guardians of Philippe, the daughter of Philippos, searching for certain parts of the property left by Philippos, we find that the aforementioned persons have carried them off; we will show the details of these before Philotas the epistates. And moreover, being short of 25 drachmas for the burial of Philippos, we gave the armour, the undertunic and the cloak, together with the bag in which they were, to the aforementioned Agathon to hold as pledges. But when we wished to recover the pledges, paying back what had been given on them and the interest, he does not return them to us but delays. We therefore beg you, O king, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Philotas the epistates that, if what is written in the petition is true, Philotas should compel Theudotos and Agathon to return to us the things carried off, whatever we may point out, and that Agathon, receiving the principal and the interest, should return the pledges to us, so that, having taken refuge with you, O king, the helper and benefactor of all, we may obtain justice and the orphan girl may not be wronged.
Farewell.
To Philotas. Preferably reconcile them; if not, send them to us from the 10th of Choiak, so that they may be judged before the appropriate court. Year 4, Daisios 27, Hathyr 28.

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.
