βασιλεῖ Πτολεμαίωι χαίρειν
Διονυσόδωρος. ἀδικοῦμαι
ὑπὸ τοῦ ἐν Κερκεσούχι δεσμοφύλακος.
διατρίβοντος γάρ μου μετὰ
Ἀπολλωνίου ἐμαυτοῦ οἰκείου,
καὶ ἐπιζητήσαντος αὐτοῦ
βυβλάριά τινα ἃ ἐδεδώκει μοι
φυλάσσειν, ταῦτα δέ μου οὐχ εὑρίσκοντος, προσπικρανθείς μοι
ἀξίωσεν Σπινθῆρα,
τὸν ἐν Κερκεσούχοις φυλακίτην, συνέχειν με. οὗτος δὲ

ἀπαγαγών με εἰς τὸ αὐτόθι δεσμωτήριον, εἶπεν τῶι δεσμοφύλακι
διʼ ἣν αἰτίαν συνέσχημαι
καὶ ἵνα, ἂν Ἀπολλώνιος συντάξηι,
ἀφῆι με. νυνὶ δὲ ἀναγήγοχέν με εἰς τὸ ἐν Κροκοδίλων πόλει δεσμωτήριον,
φάσκων εἶναί με κακουργὸν καὶ τοῦ Ἀπολλωνίου ἠξιωκότος αὐτὸν διέσθαι με, οὐ προσέσχηκεν. δέομαι οὖν σοῦ

Dionysodoros to king Ptolemy, greetings. I am wronged by the desmophylax in Kerkesoucha. For I was passing time with my kinsman, Apollonios, and he asked me for certain records which he had given me to watch over; but when I was unable to find these, he, becoming angry with me, thought it fitting that Spinther, the phylakitês in Kerkesoucha, detain me. And he (i.e., Spinther), leading me off to the desmôtêrion there, told the desmophylax the reason for my detention so that, if Apollonios should command it, he (i.e., the desmophylax) might release me. But now he has led me off to the desmôtêrion in Krokodilopolis, claiming that I am a wrongdoer; and though Apollonios thought it fitting that he release me, he did not obey. Wherefore, I need you to [….] (J. Bauschatz, Law and Enforcement, p. 139)

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.
