[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Theonides, of Ammonias. I am wronged by Seuthes, a cavalryman holding 100 arouras, who lives in the same village. For he owes me by hand 15 artabas of barley, which he undertook to repay me from the produce of year 26, and though the time has passed and I have demanded it from him many times, he does not repay me. I beg you therefore, O King, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Agathokles the epistates to send Seuthes to him and, if these things are true, to compel him to repay me; but if he disputes anything, let him swear to me that he does not owe it and be released, so that I may not be wronged, but having taken refuge with you, O King, the benefactor of all, I may obtain justice. Farewell.
To Agathokles. Having examined the matter, 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.
