To King Ptolemy, greeting, […] of the fourth hipparchy. I am wronged […] while my sacrificial animals were grazing near the […] and having shut them up in the tamarisk thicket […] eight piglets, and the sow is […] with the piglets […] after this they killed another, a white one, pregnant, which was worth […] drachmas. I beg you therefore, O King, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Dioskourides the epistates that, if the statements in the petition are true, he exact from them the value of the animals. For if this is done, having taken refuge with you, the common benefactor of all, I shall have obtained justice.
Farewell.
To Dioskourides. Having investigated, see to it that he obtains justice. Year 25, Loios 26, Choiak 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.
