[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Philon, Arcadian, of the agema, commander of five hundred, cleruch. I am wronged by Apollonios son of Ainias, of the second hipparchy, holder of 100 arouras, and by Philotis his mother, who are in Hiera Nesos of the Theoi Soteres. For having borrowed from me 150 bronze drachmas from hand to hand in order to buy armour and a sleeve-guard for Apollonios […], although repeatedly asked by me for repayment they did not pay me back, saying they were short of means; and I have gone along with them, out of regard for the circumstances, until now. I therefore beg you, O King, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Menellas the epistates to send Apollonios and Philotis to him, and if they admit that they received from me the 150 drachmas, to compel Apollonios and Philotis to pay me back, but if […] Apollonios and Philotis […] of which I […] received from me the 150 drachmas […] the armour and the sleeve-guard […] Apollonios […], from the charges brought against them […] and that they be released. For if this is done, I shall, thanks to you, O King, have obtained […].
Farewell.
To Menellas: Above all reconcile them; if not, send them to us so that we may examine the case.

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.
