To […] Hierakion, the most excellent epistrategos,
from Aurelia Aretous also called Herounous, daughter of Heron, citizen, with her guardian Aurelius Athenodoros son of Herodianos. My petition, lord, which requires your intervention, has a brief statement. There came to me by inheritance from my aforementioned and deceased father, according to the will which he left, in the komogrammateia of Moirai of the great Hermopolite nome, grain lands of twenty arouras and more, and […] I took possession, collecting the rents […] which they paid in the manner, as I said before, as also my father […]. But in the present year one Horion, […] called Pemous, and his son Heron, […] unreasonably (?) attacked these lands without any law and without any authority and without my knowledge and consent, […] by right or by local violence, and drove out our […] cultivators who had long been farmers of the lands […], and, most unjust of all, sowing not the whole of the lands but a part, they have left the rest unsown. And not only this, but coming into my courtyard they found my irrigation machine, which I have for watering the crops, and took it away without any reason; and besides this they dared many other things. For after I had measured out all the dues owed for the past year, they found my heap of wheat […] which I kept for the burial of myself and of my family and of the […] they pledged (?) […] they themselves abused me in every way […] despising me as a weak woman […]. My lord, [since] so many and such great outrages [have been committed] against me, I ask that you be moved to intervene and to hear me against my opponents, and to order the strategos to summon them before your court to give account of the charges against them, so that through your intervention I may obtain […] justice and recover the rents of the lands owed […] and the machine together with the […], from which the dues owed to the most sacred treasury will also be preserved, and […].
Farewell.

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.
