[recto] To King Ptolemy, greetings from Lykos. I am wronged by Petesis […]. For having leased the allotment of Theokles […] the contract with him […] we are cultivating, but of the sowing […] but we sowed […] expense and […] being grasping, put forward (?) […] to make clear both […] of the allotment, and in the […] by Lykomedes into […] measuring out seed to him […] they brought down, but he shamefully (?) […] seed nor the yokes of oxen […] has measured into the royal [granary] […] of the hundred-aroura holder. I beg you therefore, O King, […] to write to Moschion the epistates […] having examined the contract […] Petesis the […] of sesame, and if it is […] that I give him […] of the sesame the share falling [to him] […] for the remaining time of the lease. […] I shall obtain justice. […] To Moschion. Preferably reconcile them; otherwise, send them to us so that we may examine the matter. Year 25, Loios 26, Choiak 13. [verso] Year 25, Loios 26, Choiak 13. Lykos against Petesis concerning the lease of an allotment.

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.
