[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Demetria […] of the division of Themistos. I am wronged by Agenor, moneylender, […] a pair of gold earrings […] the principal […] and when Eutychis received 4 drachmas, it happened that Eutychis […] by me the aforementioned pledges […] drachmas, and now, when I am paying him back what is owed on the pledges and the interest […] I therefore beg you, O King, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos […] to my husband, because I am ill, and to write to Ptolemaios the epistates to compel Agenor, having received the 44 drachmas of copper and the interest, to return the pledges to me. For if this is done […], through you, O King, the benefactor of all, I shall obtain justice. Farewell.
To Ptolemaios. […]

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.
