[recto]
To King Ptolemy, greetings from Alexandros son of Peith[…], from Pharbaithos in the division of Herakleides. I am wronged by Apollonios […]. For when I leased an orchard in year 22, [I gave him (?)] the rent of this orchard, 20 drachmas, so that he would deposit it at the bank; of these he has deposited 10 drachmas, but the other ten drachmas he has kept back and even now has not deposited them at the bank. And I am being pressed by Theugenes, the owner of the property, in accordance with the contract I made with him, for both the interest and the penalty of one half, because Theugenes has been assigned the 10 drachmas at the bank. I therefore beg you, O King, if it please you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to […]on the epistates to send Apollonios to have the case decided between us before him, and, if this is true, that he be made to pay the 10 drachmas together with the additional charges which I myself am being made to pay, so that, having taken refuge with you, O King, I may obtain justice. Farewell.
To […]on. Having investigated, see to it that he obtains justice. Year 25, Loios 26, Choiak 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.
