[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Dioskourides and Nikanor. We are wronged by Nephorsouchos.
For she borrowed from us in year 26, from Dioskourides 10 drachmas of copper and from Nikanor 14 drachmas of copper, making 24 drachmas, and she does not repay us, because she has gone away to Kerkesoucha in the division of Herakleides, treating us with contempt. We therefore beg you, O King, if it seems good to you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Deinias the epistates of Kerkesoucha that he summon her and, if she admits it, compel her to pay us back, but if she disputes anything, send her to Diophanes the strategos, so that we may obtain your benevolence. Farewell.
To Deinias. Preferably reconcile them; otherwise send them so that their case may be decided before the koinodikion.
Year 1, Gorpiaios 28, Tybi 12.

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.
