To King Ptolemy, greetings from Apollonios, one of the […] of […]. I am wronged by Dositheos, one of those from the same village. For having borrowed from me [spades] […] and 4 drachmas of bronze, and though repeatedly asked by me for them, he does not return them […] to put me off. I beg you therefore, O King, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Agathokles the epistates that he compel Dositheos to return to me what is owed. If this is done, I shall, through you, O King, the common saviour of all, have obtained justice. Farewell.
To Agathokles. Having investigated, see to it that he obtains his rights. Year 1, Gorpiaios 28, 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.
