[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Herakleides, Larisaean, of the 3rd hipparchy, holder of 100 arouras. I am wronged by Aristomachos. For, owing me for […] arouras of hay […] the price […] 5 copper drachmas, and even now, though I demand the price from him, he does not pay it. I beg you therefore, O King, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Herakleides, epistates of the village of Memphis, to send him to Diophanes and, if these things are true, that he be made to pay the 5 drachmas, the price of the hay, and that it be paid to me, so that I may obtain justice through you, O King. Farewell.
To Herakleides. See to it that he obtains justice. Year 1, Gorpiaios 30, Tybi 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.
