[…] they hamstrung these […]
to some people passing by on their way to Oxyrhyncha they gave […] to cut […]
in the plain. Later we found her eaten through by the dogs and the ravens,
and we showed her to the police guards and to many others. I therefore beg you, O King, if it seems good to you,
to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Moschion, the epistates in Oxyrhyncha, to send the persons accused by me to him, so that he may inquire into these matters and, if
what is stated in the petition is true, that they be made to pay at once and render to me
the price stated above. For if this is done, O King, having taken refuge with you,
the common benefactor and helper, I shall obtain your assistance.
Farewell.
To Moschion. Preferably reconcile them; otherwise send them so that they may be judged before the koinodikion.

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.
