[To King Ptolemy, greetings.] […] son of Antigenes, Persian of the epigone, residing in Berenikis by the Thesmophorion [in the division of Polemon]. I am wronged by Peithias, residing in the [same village. For in year …, Tybi] 11, while I was standing at the gateway […] of the house which is in the aforementioned [village] […] of the aforementioned, abuse […] Peithias the aforementioned, coming up, not […] with his right hand into my left […] he struck me on whatever part of my body he happened to hit […] committed by him, Peithias […] me with his right leg into the […] in the presence of some people, whom I also called to witness. And he did these things […] insulting me and starting an unjust assault on me. Therefore I assess the outrage at […]. I beg you therefore, O King, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Pythiades the epistates to send Peithias to him, so that, since I am not able to bring a suit against him, if I prove that the statements in the petition are true, he may write to the collector for foreigners to exact from Peithias the assessed penalty for the outrage and pay it to me. When this is done, I shall have obtained, O King, your benevolence. Farewell.
To Pythiades. Preferably 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.
