[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Neandros, Oitaian, of the […] hipparchy, holder of 100 arouras. I am wronged by Paos, one of those living in Topsis. For I gave to Pete[…], his father, a demotic contract to hold in deposit, which Pechysios drew up with me for 75 artabas of wheat as rent, which he owed me for year 3, on condition that if he did not pay them to me I would recover the contract from him (?). But Pete[…], the father of Paos, having died before I recovered […], and Paos, his son, having the contract, though asked by me […] the grain […], does not return it. I beg you therefore, O King, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Kallikles the epistates to send Paos to Diophanes, so that, if what I write is true, he may compel him to return the contract to me, so that through you, O King, I may obtain justice. Farewell.
To Kallikles. Preferably reconcile them; if not, send them to us from the 10th of Choiak, so that they may be judged before the appropriate court.
Year 4, Daisios 27, Hathyr 28.

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.
