To King Ptolemy, greetings from Ptolema. I am wronged by Neilos. For Theodotos, son of […], having leased out (?) the fruits of the palm grove belonging to him near Samareia to […] the price of the fruits from Theodotos, concerning which he also issued a letter […], and Theodotos having died before he carried off the fruits, while I […] of the things left behind by Theodotos and guarding (?) […] the fruits […] maintenance and to the creditors on behalf of Theodotos […], Neilos came on […] Mesore and threw me out of the aforesaid palm grove […] […] Since therefore I cannot bring a lawsuit against him because […] contract […] and my affairs require examination before the strategos, I beg you, O King, to order Diophanes the strategos to write […] to the epistates to send Neilos […], and if it is as I write, to compel him to pay me the price […] 100 drachmas, and concerning the expulsion that Diophanes decide as seems best to him. This being done, through you, O King, I shall obtain justice. Farewell. [Docket] […] Above all reconcile them; if not, send them so that they may obtain justice according to the laws. 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.
