[To King Ptolemy, greetings from …] On the 10th of the month Tybi […] in year 1, … together with (?) […] his wife Hediste and her […] the house of my husband Philon, which is in […] me and my sister … […] Alkimos ordered me to move out, alleging […] having entered the house to throw out the occupants, but I […] unless he could show some document about these matters, and […] Alkimos carried out […] of our furniture into […] of my sister […] and as she was shouting for people, and when several had gathered, among whom was also Agathokles the epistates, Hediste and Konnara threw (?) […] and as I was shouting […] and some people had come in, Alkimos, taking up a stick in his right hand, struck […] with the stick deliberately on the right forearm and broke […] as she called those present to witness, he struck […] whatever part of my body he happened to hit, starting an unjust assault on me and […] he threw me out of the aforesaid house; but as I did not move out […] my son Aristomachos arrived, and after that also my husband Philon, they left us and went away. Since therefore, by what has been done to me […] to be settled, and I have sent my own husband to deliver the petition […] these things to the strategos, I ask you, O King, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Agathokles the epistates to inform him of the follow-up (?) […] to send him so that he may be put under surety, and if within the days set by law […] escapes (?), but if I recover, I may obtain justice from him through the court […] I may not be at a disadvantage, but through you, O King, I may obtain your benevolence. Farewell.
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.
