Saisie injustifiée d’un âne par le fisc via HGV-meta
Petition to the king about a donkey seized for alleged arrears of rent. A petition addressed to the king by a Macedonian, son of Dionysios, an Alexandrian not yet enrolled in a deme. He complains that after he sowed 5 arouras with sesame in year 26, his donkey was seized in Pauni on the claim that he still owed rent, and asks that the strategos Diophanes check the accounting office records and have Timokrates return the donkey. It was written at Magdola in the Arsinoite nome in 221 BC. machine translation

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.
