[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Krateuas, Macedonian, holder of 30 arouras. I am wronged by Harmiesis and […] shepherds from Alabanthis. For, as I am in charge of certain allotments (kleroi) of the […], in Year 25, Phaophi 13, when I went down to the fields and found that the sheep of the aforementioned shepherds had grazed down the pastures of one allotment, that of Asteropaios […], and when I rebuked them and called witnesses, they paid no heed, but leapt upon me holding sticks, struck me with blows and took away the cloak I was wearing. When I came […] and showed my wounds to Herodotos the epistates, and how I had been stripped naked by them […], there arrived Chales, one of the shepherds, bringing my cloak, which I recovered. […] I submitted a petition to Diophanes the strategos, which he endorsed and sent to Herodotos the epistates; but Herodotos, acting negligently, has kept putting me off until now. I beg you therefore, O King, to order Diophanes the strategos not to overlook me, lawlessly outraged by the shepherds, but to write to Herodotos the epistates not to act negligently, but to send them to Diophanes, and, if they are shown to have grazed down the pastures and to have outraged me and stripped me, regarding the pastures […], and regarding the outrage, that Diophanes decide. For if this is done, through you, O King, the common saviour of all, I shall obtain justice and help. Farewell.
(Docket) To Herodotos. […] so that he may not petition repeatedly about the same matters.

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.
