[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Plaison son of Eudoxos, of the Theoxenean deme, one of the men of Dionysios […]
[I submitted] a petition to Diophanes the strategos in which I explained, among other things, that the grain should be disposed of (?) […], concerning which Diophanes wrote to Deinias to hold it back; and when the petition had been dealt with, [I was to …] point out Lamedon and Phormion acting fraudulently, Diophanes wrote […]. But when I delivered the letter to Deinias and pointed them (?) out […], Lamedon [demanded (?)] that I, having received the grain, and on the 100 artabas a cleaning allowance of 12 artabas of wheat […] the contract […]; though I made this request, he has taken no account of me up to now. [I beg you therefore, O King,]
to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Deinias the epistates to explain […] the grain as was written to him; and likewise whether Lamedon demanded that I, having received the [grain], […] cancel the contract for him. For if this is done, having taken refuge with you, O King, [I shall obtain justice].
To Deinias. Report to us about what he writes. Year 1, G[orpiaios 28, Tybi 12].

Year 1, Gorpiaios 28, Tybi 12.

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.
