[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Tryphon son of Antigonos […]
I am wronged by a certain Teos. When I took over from him [a share of the land (?)] […] which he himself had leased, on condition that we work […] and that he would draw up for me a joint lease contract […] the dry land, and when I asked him to draw it up for me, [he …] to shut me out of the partnership and of the work. [I beg you therefore, O King, if it seems good to you, to] order Diophanes the strategos to write [to Rhodon the epistates to send him to] Diophanes, so that my case may be decided before him, and, [if what is in this petition is true, to] compel Teos to draw up for me the contract […]
For if this is done, I shall through you, O King, [have obtained justice. Farewell.]
To Rhodon. Preferably reconcile them; if not, send […] so that they may have their case decided.

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.
