A petition to King Ptolemy from Diokles complaining that Seos has not paid a debt of wine owed under an Egyptian contract, despite having promised before the epistates Polykrates to pay 30 choes within 30 days. Diokles asks that the strategos Diophanes instruct Polykrates to exact the wine or its market price; the strategos's instruction and a docket follow.

[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Diokles. I am wronged by Seos. For when I previously submitted a petition to Diophanes the strategos, in which I declared that Seos, owing me 35 choes of wine under an Egyptian contract, had not paid me although repeatedly asked, and Diophanes wrote to Polykrates to investigate, Seos, appearing in year 25, Epeiph 27, gave a written undertaking that he would pay me 30 choes of wine within 30 days from the aforesaid day. I therefore beg you, O King, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Polykrates the epistates that, if the statements in the petition are true, he should exact from him the 30 choes of wine or their current price in the market. For if this is done, I shall through you, O King, have obtained justice. Farewell.
To Polykrates. If […] him from the […] to do what is just.

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.
