[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Petesouchos […] I am wronged by Ptolemaios, one of the epigonoi from Kerkesoucha, of the division of Herakleides […] me while I was sitting working […] whatever part of my body he happened upon […] blows he struck […] and he did these things using violence. I beg you therefore, O king, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Deinias the epistates to send Ptolemaios to Diophanes to be judged with me, and, if what I write is true […] Diophanes decides, so that through you, O king, I may obtain justice.
Farewell.
(Docket:) To Deinias. […] 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.
