βασιλεῖ Πτολεμαίωι χαίρειν Ἡδίστη Νικάνορος, Μακέτα. ἀδικοῦμαι ὑπὸ Δημητρίου τινός, ἰατροῦ,
τῶν ἐκ Καρανίδος. ὑπάρχοντος γάρ μοι μέρος τι ψιλοῦ τόπου ἀπὸ βορρᾶ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων μοι
ᾠκοδομημένων κατʼ ὠνὴν ἐν τῆι προδεδηλωμένηι κώμηι, ὁ προγεγραμμένος, ἐπιπορευόμενος ἐπὶ τὸν
τόπον, βιάζεταί με πλίνθον προσάγων καὶ θεμέλιον σκάπτων ὥστε οἰκοδομεῖν. δέομαι οὖν σοῦ, βασιλεῦ,
προστάξαι Διοφάνει τῶι στρατηγῶι γράψαι Λυσιμάχωι τῶι ἐπιστάτηι ἀποστεῖλαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ Διοφάνην
ὅπως, ἐπισκεψαμένου αὐτοῦ, μὴ ἐπιτρέπῃ προσπορεύεσθαι τῶν μὴ καθηκόντων αὐτῶι, ἕως δὲ
τοῦ δικαιολογηθῆναι, μὴ ἐπιτρέπειν μηθενὶ οἰκοδομεῖν. τούτου γὰρ γενομένου, ἐπὶ σὲ καταφυγοῦσα, βασιλεῦ, τεύξομαι τῆς πάσης βοηθείας. εὐτύχει.
Λυσιμάχωι. μάλιστα διάλυσον αὐτούς· εἰ δὲ μή, ἀπόστειλον πρὸς ἡμᾶς ὅπως ἐπὶ τοῦ καθήκοντος δικαστηρίου διακριθῶσιν.

[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings, from Hediste daughter of Nikanor, Macedonian. I am wronged by a certain Demetrios, a doctor, one of the inhabitants of Karanis. For, as I own a certain portion of a vacant plot to the north of the buildings that belong to me by purchase in the aforementioned village, the aforesaid man, coming onto the plot, is using force against me, bringing bricks and digging a foundation so as to build. I beg you therefore, O King, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Lysimachos the epistates to send him to Diophanes so that, after he has examined the matter, he may not allow him to encroach on what does not belong to him, and until the case has been argued, not allow anyone to build. For if this is done, having taken refuge with you, O King, I shall obtain every assistance. Farewell.
To Lysimachos. Preferably reconcile them; if not, send them to us so that they may be judged before the competent court.
Year 4, Daisios 27, Hathyr 29.

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.
